U.S. 1, Street Road Night Lane Closures Set Next Week

BENSALEM, PA — Lanes on U.S. 1 and Street Road in Bensalem will be closed overnight once again next week for construction in the area.

Lanes will be closed in each direction on both roadways for the construction, part of a project to widen and improve U.S. 1 and rebuilt its interchange at Street Road.

The closures will run from Monday, March 25, through Friday, March 29. U.S. 1 between Rockhill Drive and Old Lincoln Highway will be reduced to a single lane those days from 8 p.m.-6 a.m. During those same times, Street Road will also be down to one lane in each direction between Old Lincoln Highway and Kingston Way.

All scheduled construction is weather dependent, PennDOT said.

Next week, crews will be removing the existing northbound U.S. 1 concrete pavement, beginning installation of the project's stormwater drainage system, dismantling overhead signs and beginning construction on the Street Road overpass.

Expected to take two years, the project aims to widen and improve a 1.3-mile section of U.S. 1 from the Philadelphia border to north of the Pennsylvania Turnpike's Bensalem interchange.
