 The Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT) announced today that construction will begin next week to replace the new southbound U.S. 1 bridge over rail lines and the Penndel/Business U.S. 1 Interchange following the shift of southbound traffic onto the newly constructed northbound structure in Bensalem and Middletown townships, Bucks County.
Motorists are advised of the following travel restrictions:
Drivers are advised to allow extra time when traveling through the work areas. All scheduled activities are weather dependent. The bridge work is part of the Section RC2 improvements under construction from the Pennsylvania Turnpike to north of the Penndel/Business U.S. 1 Interchange in Middletown Township through late 2026. The core borings are being done for Section RC3, the final phase of PennDOT’s three-phase U.S. 1 Improvement Project that is improving four miles of the highway in Bucks County by reconstructing and widening pavement, replacing bridges, and improving the interchanges. Section RC3, which will improve the U.S. 1 corridor from the Penndel/Business U.S. 1 Interchange to north of Route 413 (Pine Street), is currently in preliminary engineering with construction bids tentatively expected to be opened in late 2026. Section RC1 improvements between Old Lincoln Highway and the Pennsylvania Turnpike in Bensalem Township were completed this fall.
