New Falls Road Construction To Last Until Spring 2024

LEVITTOWN, PA —A weekday lane closure begins Monday on New Falls Road between Durham Road and Bristol Oxford Valley Road in Middletown and Bristol townships —a project that will take over a year to complete, PennDOT has announced.

The work takes place between 9 a.m. and 3 p.m. each day for roadway construction to improve pedestrian safety on a nearly 1-mile stretch of New Falls Road, the agency stated.

The project should be completed by spring 2024., PennDOT said.

Motorists are advised to allow extra time when traveling through the work area because backups and delays may occur.

The project includes adding sidewalks alongside a section of New Falls Road, installing crosswalk pavement markings to delineate pedestrian routes along the corridor and pedestrian signal equipment in conjunction with the addition of ADA curb ramps to further improve pedestrian safety. PennDOT said protected left-turn traffic signals to improve motorist safety will also be added.

Marino Corporation of Skippack, is the general contractor on the $1.4 million project, which is financed with 100 percent federal funds.
