Bristol Pike Lane Closures May Last Two Weeks In Bensalem

BENSALEM TOWNSHIP, PA —PennDOT has scheduled two weeks for the installation of rumble strips on Bristol Pike.

After work was completed recently in Bristol and Tullytown, the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation said the safety enhancements project to improve travel and reduce high-speed crashes across the five-county Philadelphia region will focus on Bensalem Township over the next two weeks.

Motorists are advised of the following travel restriction:

• Monday, March 13, through Monday, March 27, from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m., periodic lane closures are scheduled in both directions on U.S. 13 (Bristol Pike) at the Route 63 (Woodhaven Road) Interchange in Bensalem Township.

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

Kuharchik Construction, Inc. of Exeter, is the general contractor on this $7.56 million project, which is financed with 100 percent federal funds.

Motorists can check conditions on more than 40,000 roadway miles, including color-coded winter conditions on 2,900 miles, by visiting www.511PA.com. 511PA, which is free and available 24 hours a day, provides traffic delay warnings, weather forecasts, traffic speed information, and access to more than 1,000 traffic cameras.
