Pothole Repairs Scheduled On Major Doylestown Area Highways

DOYLESTOWN, PA — Pothole repairs will be taking place this week on several major highways in the Doylestown area, according to the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation.

Among them will be the Route 202 and Route 611 Doylestown Bypass.

Other highways on the pothole repair list include:

• Butler Avenue in New Britain Township and Chalfont Borough.
• Pineville Road in Buckingham Township.
• Tollgate Road in Richland Township.
• Route 213 (Maple Avenue) in Langhorne Borough.
• Route 532 (Buck Road) in Northampton Township.
• Bustleton Pike in Northampton Township.
• Eagle Road in Newtown Township.
• Bellevue Road/Durham Road in Middletown Township and Penndel and Langhorne boroughs.

Crews will restrict travel lanes to patch areas of deteriorating pavement. Motorists can expect intermittent lane closures and possible slowdowns when driving near work crews. All activities are weather dependent.

PennDOT reminds motorists that potholes and other roadway concerns on state roads can be reported by calling 1-800-FIX-ROAD or visiting www.penndot.pa.gov and clicking on “Submit Concern".

Since January 1, 2024, PennDOT has used more than 1,720 tons of asphalt to repair potholes across the five-county Philadelphia region.

Roundabout Project In Doylestown

Construction continues on the roundabouts project at the intersection of Easton Road and New Britain Road/Sauerman Road in Doylestown Township.

Motorists are advised that through the summer, New Britain Road will be reduced to one lane between Easton Road and Rolling Hill Boulevard. During the lane closure, motorists will be directed to use Lower State Road, U.S. 202, and Easton Road.

Motorists should allow extra time when traveling through the work area because backups and delays may occur. All scheduled activities are weather dependent.

As part of the project, PennDOT is constructing two adjacent single-lane roundabouts at the bifurcated intersection of Easton Road and New Britain Road/Sauerman Road. The roundabouts will include new drainage and sidewalks; ADA-compliant crossings; bicycle facilities; lighting; and full-depth pavement reconstruction.

The design includes transit facilities to accommodate SEPTA and DART routes. There are existing trails to the east and west of the project that will be connected as part of this project. The proposed trail will circle the roundabouts connecting Triangle Park and the Heritage Gateway Center at Doylestown to adjacent residences and businesses.

The project is aimed at reducing overall crashes at the intersection; reducing vehicle speeds; and improving bicycle and pedestrian mobility and safety near the intersection.

James D. Morrissey, Inc. of Philadelphia is the general contractor on the $3.9 million project, which is financed with 100 percent federal funds.
