Route 13 Safety Improvements Project Begins

FALLS TOWNSHIP, PA —Ramp line striping begins Monday on Route 13 under a project to install safety enhancements to improve travel and reduce high-speed crashes, PennDOT said.

The Pennsylvania Department of Transportation said the work on Bristol Pike will last over the next two weeks.

Motorists are advised of the following travel restriction:

• Monday, May 1, through Friday, May 12, from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m., periodic lane closures are scheduled on U.S. 13 (Bristol Pike) in both directions between Mill Creek Road and Penn Valley Road.

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 $7.5 million project, which is financed with 100 percent federal funds.

Motorists can check conditions on more than 40,000 roadway 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.
