The transformation at the corner of Street and Mechanicsville Road is outstanding. Congratulations to Mr. & Mrs. Vernon Hill for redeveloping this corner in Bensalem and to Mayor DiGirolamo and our Council for supporting their efforts. It was great to see former Bucks County Commissioner, the 44th Governor of Pennsylvania, Mark Schweiker join the festivities.

Daytime and nighttime lane restrictions will be in place on U.S. 1 and Street Road (Route 132) next week for bridge and roadway construction under a project to widen and improve U.S.1 in Bucks County, the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT) announced today.  
 
The work schedule is:
 
  • Sunday, September 27, through Saturday, October 3, from 6:00 AM to 3:00 PM, and Sunday, September 27, through Friday, October 2, from 8:00 PM to 6:00 AM the following morning, single lane closures will be in place on northbound or southbound U.S. 1 between Rockhill Drive and Old Lincoln Highway; and

Motorists are advised to allow extra time when traveling through the work areas because backups and slowdowns will occur. All scheduled activities are weather permitting.
 
Work on this project will be in accordance with Centers for Disease Control and state Department of Health guidance as well as a project-specific COVID-19 safety plan, which will include protocols for social distancing, use of face coverings, personal and job-site cleaning protocols, management of entries to the jobsite, special signage and relevant training.
 
Crews currently are reconstructing the middle section along 1.3 miles of U.S. 1, and the middle section of Street Road (Route 132) under the second major stage of the RC1 project. Ongoing activities also include construction of the center sections of U.S. 1 bridges over Street Road (Route 132), the Pennsylvania Turnpike, and the Turnpike ramps at the Bensalem Interchange.
 
Allan A. Myers, Inc. of Worcester, Montgomery County is the general contractor on the $95.1 million project which is financed with 80 percent federal and 20 percent state funds. The project is expected to complete by late 2022.  
 
This contract (RC1) is the first of three construction contracts to rebuild and widen U.S. 1; replace aging bridges; and install safety enhancements along a four-mile section of the expressway from just north of Philadelphia to just north of Route 413 (Pine Street) in Middletown Township and Langhorne Borough.  For more information, visit www.us1bucks.com.
For a complete list of construction projects impacting state-owned highways in Bucks, Chester, Delaware, Montgomery and Philadelphia counties, visit www.penndot.gov/District6TrafficBulletin.
 
Motorists can check conditions on more than 40,000 roadway miles by visiting www.511PA.com or downloading the 511PA application for iPhone and Android devices. 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.
