U.S. 1 Lane Closures, Traffic Stoppages at Night Next Week for Construction in Bucks County

Travel restrictions are planned next week on U.S. 1 and Bristol Road in Bensalem and Middletown townships, Bucks County, for blasting and excavation, the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT) announced today.
 
The work schedule and locations are:
 

• Wednesday, June 1, and Thursday, June 2, from 8:00 PM to 10:00 PM, intermittent single lane closures with 15-minute traffic stoppages will be in place in both directions on U.S. 1 between the Route 413 and Neshaminy exits; and
• Wednesday, June 1, and Thursday, June 2, from 8:00 PM to 10:00 PM, intermittent 15-minute traffic stoppages will be in place in both directions on Bristol Road between Old Lincoln Highway and Neshaminy Boulevard.

 
Motorists are advised to allow extra time when traveling through the work areas. All scheduled activities are weather dependent. 
 
Crews are reconstructing and widening almost three miles of U.S. 1, 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 $111.5 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.
