Lane Restrictions Planned On Rt. 1 At Oxford Valley Road

Daytime lane restrictions are scheduled on northbound and southbound U.S. 1 at the Oxford Valley Road Interchange in Falls and Middletown townships next week.

The restrictions will be in place on Monday, Jan. 30, through Friday, Feb. 3, from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. so that crews can rehabilitate the Oxford Valley Road overpass.

Motorists are advised to allow extra time when traveling through the construction areas because slowdowns may occur, PennDOT said.

Crews began construction in November to rehabilitate the Oxford Valley Road bridge.

The bridge remains open to traffic while the contractor repairs structural damage sustained when the bridge was struck by an oversized truck in 2015. Crews will replace two steel beams and repair three steel beams, PennDOT said.

Construction on the bridge is scheduled to finish in June.
