Stormwater Improvements Planned In 2 Lower Bucks Communities

LOWER BUCKS COUNTY, PA —Three stormwater improvement projects are planned this week in two Lower Bucks communities, PennDOT has announced.

The Pennsylvania Department of Transportation said that the stormwater improvements are planned under a $14.9 million project to upgrade stormwater management facilities on more than 90 state highways across the five-county Philadelphia region.

Motorists are advised of lane closures on Monday through Friday from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. at the following locations:

• Route 213 (Maple Avenue/Old Lincoln Highway) between S. Bucks Town Rd and Wheeler Way in Middletown Township for paving and road repair.
• Highland Avenue between Avenue F and Hulmeville Road in Middletown Township for paving.
• County Line Road between Princeton Road and Route 232 (Second Street Pike/Huntington Pike) in Upper Southampton for stormwater replacement.

Drivers are advised to allow extra time when traveling through the work areas because backups and delays will occur.

The schedule is weather-dependent.

Highway Materials, Inc. of Flourtown, Montgomery County, is the general contractor on this project, which is financed with 100 percent state funds.

Motorists can check conditions on major roadways 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. 511PA is also available through a smartphone application for iPhone and Android devices, by calling 5-1-1, or by following regional X alerts.
