U.S. 1, Street Road (Route 132) Lane Closures This Weekend, Next Week for Construction in Bensalem Township 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 on a project to widen and improve U.S.1 and its interchanges in Bucks County, the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT) announced today.
The weather dependent work schedule and locations are:
Motorists are reminded that Bristol Road remains closed to through traffic between Old Lincoln Highway and Neshaminy Boulevard until spring 2021 for replacement of the bridge over U.S.1. Replacement of the Bristol Road overpass during the current construction stage will accelerate the completion date for the entire RC1 Section by at least one year. The project is now scheduled to finish in late 2021. Motorists are advised to allow extra time when traveling through the work areas because backups and slowdowns will occur. 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. Reconstruction of the middle section along 1.3 miles of U.S. 1, the second major stage of the RC1 project, is nearing completion. Reconstruction will shift to the southbound side — including construction of the southbound sections of U.S. 1 bridges over Street Road (Route 132), the Pennsylvania Turnpike, and the Turnpike ramps at the Bensalem Interchange — later this fall. Center area construction continues on Street Road (Route 132) at the U.S. 1 interchange. Allan A. Myers, Inc. of Worcester, Montgomery County is the general contractor on the $95.1 million Section RC1 project which is financed with 80 percent federal and 20 percent state funds. Section 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.

Join Mayor Joseph DiGirolamo and President and CEO of Brown’s Super Stores, Inc., Jeff Brown, as they discuss renovations to the Brown’s Family ShopRite in Bensalem as well as the www.pa30dayfund.com, designed to help small businesses in need from the ongoing pandemic, on this edition of the Mayor’s Show. The Bensalem Township Municipal Building will be closed this Wednesday, November 11th in observance of Veterans Day. We will reopen for business on Thursday, November 12th at 8:00am. Thank you to all who served!
U.S. 1 in Bensalem Township, Bucks County, will be closed between the Neshaminy and Business 1/Penndel interchanges this Saturday from 10:00 PM to 10:00 AM Sunday, November 8, for demolition of the Bristol Road overpass, the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT) announced today. During the overnight closure, through traffic on U.S. 1 will be detoured on Interstate 95 and Woodhaven Road (Route 63). Local traffic will follow posted detours around the closure area. This one-night bridge removal operation will generate noise that will be heard in neighborhoods within close proximity of the bridge. This work is being expedited over a single evening to reduce long term nightwork operations and inconvenience to the neighborhoods. The replacement of the Bristol Road overpass during the current construction stage will also accelerate the completion date for the entire RC1 Section by at least one year. The project is now scheduled to finish in late 2021. In addition, Bristol Road is scheduled to close to through traffic for approximately six months beginning at 6:00 AM Friday, November 6, between Old Lincoln Highway and Neshaminy Boulevard for replacement of the overpass. Bristol Road traffic will be detoured on Neshaminy Boulevard, Rockhill Road, and Old Lincoln Highway around the overpass closure. Additional daytime and nighttime lane restrictions also will be in place on U.S. 1 and Street Road (Route 132) next week for bridge and roadway construction under the ongoing project to widen and improve U.S.1 in Bucks County. Weather permitting, the work schedules and locations are:
