UPPER BUCKS COUNTY, PA —Route 32 has reopened after a week of repairs for a pavement washout but now will be closed once again for a week for paving, PennDOT said.

Weekday closure begins tomorrow for resurfacing operations

The Pennsylvania Department of Transportation said that Route 32 (River Road) was reopened Tuesday afternoon between Route 611 (Easton Road) and Bridgeton Hill Road in Nockamixon and Bridgeton townships following roadway repair.

Route 32 (River Road) was closed on Wednesday, June 26, following the discovery of a pavement washout in the southbound lane about a mile south of Narrows Hill Road.

PennDOT crews addressed the unstable soils, used flowable fill to stabilize the area, and paved the roadway.

Beginning Wednesday, Route 32 (River Road) will be closed on weekdays in the same area for paving operations.

Motorists are advised of the following travel restrictions:

• Wednesday, July 3, and Monday, July 8 through Friday, July 12, from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m., Route 32 (River Road) will be closed between Route 611 (Easton Road) and Bridgeton Hill Road. During the closure, motorists will be directed to use Bridgeton Hill Road/Marienstein Road and Route 611 (Easton Road).
