PA Turnpike In Bucks Co. To Close For 6 Hours Sunday

Overnight closures are planned on the Pennsylvania Turnpike in both directions this weekend.

According to turnpike officials, the road will be closed on Sunday, April 15 from 12:01 to 6 a.m. between the Bensalem Interchange (Exit 351) and the Delaware Valley Interchange (Exit 358) in Bristol Township.

The closure is necessary so crews can safely erect beams for the bridge that carries Hulmeville Road over the Turnpike. The bridge is at milepost 353.96.

Periodic single lane closures and traffic stoppages may occur the day before during the nighttime hours to prepare for the closure, officials said.

Pennsylvania State Police and Turnpike personnel will be positioned at the impacted interchanges to assist drivers. Work schedules are subject to change based on weather conditions.
