Lanes Closed At 2 Yardley-Area Intersections Next Week

YARDLEY, PA — Lane closures at several Bucks County intersections, including two in the Yardley area, are planned next week to install curb ramps.

Earlier this month, Gov. Tom Wolf's office announced plans to install 73 Americans With Disabilities act-compliant curb ramps at 18 intersections in Bucks County.

Next week, work will be going on at Big Oak Road and Makefield Road in Lower Makefield Township and Pennsylvania Avenue and Union Street in Morrisville. The lane closures are scheduled from 9 a.m.-3 p.m. on Monday, Oct. 22 through Friday, Oct. 26.

Drivers are advised to allow extra time when traveling through the area because there will be slowdowns.

"The construction of these facilities represents PennDOT's ongoing commitment to upgrading and improving access and mobility for citizens," Wolf said when the project was announced. "Our goal is to improve and maintain safety for pedestrians and motorists alike."

Other Yardley area intersections also are scheduled for ADA curb ramp installation as part of the project. The are:

• Route 32 (Delaware Avenue) and Letchworth Avenue in Yardley Borough
• Route 32 (Delaware Avenue) and College Avenue in Yardley Borough
• Main Street and Reading Avenue in Yardley Borough
• Main Street and Letchworth Avenue in Yardley Borough
• Main Street and Afton Avenue in Yardley Borough
• Mirror Lake Road and Yardley Langhorne Road in Lower Makefield Township
• Stony Hill Road and Cardinal Drive in Lower Makefield Township

Work on the entire project is expected to be completed in early 2019.
