LEVITTOWN, PA —A lane closure is expected to start Tuesday evening for bridge deck repair on Route 295 in Bristol and Middletown townships, PennDOT has announced.

Motorists are advised of the following travel restrictions:

• Tuesday, Oct. 18, through Friday, Oct. 21, from 7:30 p.m. to 5:30 a.m. the following morning, a single lane closure is scheduled on eastbound and/or westbound Interstate 295 between the Route 413 (Bristol) and Business U.S. 1/Route 413 (Penndel/Levittown) interchanges in Bristol and Middletown townships.
