 Periodic northbound and southbound 15-minute traffic stoppages may be in place on U.S. 1 in Bucks County on Monday, December 20, from 8:00 PM to 12:00 AM for removal of overhead electric lines between the Street Road (Route 132) Interchange in Bensalem Township and the Route 413 Interchange in Middletown Township, the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT) announced today.
The electric lines are being removed as part of the construction to widen U.S.1 and replace bridges over the Neshaminy Creek and over rail lines near the Penndel exit. Motorists should allow extra time for travel through the work areas. All scheduled activities are weather dependent. If weather forces cancelation of Monday night’s operation, the electric line removal will take place on Tuesday, December 21, from 8:00 PM to 12:00 AM. Crews are reconstructing and widening almost three miles of roadway, improving the interchanges, and constructing several new bridges — including new structures over the Neshaminy Creek and over rail lines near the Penndel exit — under two contracts (RC1, RC2) to rebuild, widen and improve U.S.1 in Bucks County. JD Eckman, Inc., of Atglen, PA, is the general contractor on the $110.8 million Section RC2 project that is scheduled be completed in mid-2026. Alan Myers Construction, of Worcester, PA, is the general contractor on the $95 million Section RC1 project that is expected to be completed in mid-2022. Sections RC1 and RC2 are two of the 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.

 Periodic northbound and southbound single lane closures and 15-minute traffic stoppages may be in place on U.S. 1 in Bucks County on Monday, December 13, through Thursday, December 16, from 8:00 PM to 10:00 PM for construction activities between the Pennsylvania Turnpike Interchange in Bensalem Township and the Penndel/Business U.S.1 Interchange in Middletown Township, the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT) announced today.
During the periodic 15-minute traffic stoppages on U.S.1, Bristol Road also will be closed temporarily between Neshaminy Boulevard and Old Lincoln Highway. The traffic stoppages and closures are required as crews conduct controlled blasting operations to remove rock from the embankments along U.S. 1 where widening is taking place. In addition, periodic lane restrictions also may be in place on Sunday, December 12, through Friday, December 17, from 8:00 PM to 6:00 AM the following morning for construction on eastbound and/or westbound Street Road (Route 132) between Old Lincoln Highway and Kingston Way in Bensalem Township. Motorists should allow extra time for travel through the work areas because backups and delays will occur. All scheduled activities are weather dependent.
