LOWER BUCKS COUNTY, PA —Periodic lane closures are expected over the next two weeks as PennDOT conducts line striping on Route 13 in several communities starting Monday.

The Pennsylvania Department of Transportation said that line striping and sign installations will begin Monday under a project to install safety enhancements to improve travel and reduce high-speed crashes.

Motorists are advised of the following travel restrictions:
