Lane closures will be in place on northbound and southbound U.S. 1 in Bensalem Township, Bucks County, on Sunday, July 31, through Friday, August 5, from 7:00 PM to 6:00 AM the following morning for paving operations between Old Lincoln Highway and the Pennsylvania Turnpike Interchange, the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT) announced today.

In addition, eastbound Rockhill Drive will be reduced to a single lane periodically between Old Lincoln Highway and Neshaminy Boulevard on Monday, August 1, through Thursday, August 4, from 8:00 PM to 6:00 AM the following morning for overhead bridge construction.

Motorists are advised to allow extra time when traveling through or near the work areas. All scheduled activities are weather dependent.
