The work schedule and locations are:
 

• Sunday, September 18, through Thursday, September 22, from 7:00 PM to 6:00 AM the following morning, alternating lane and ramp closures will be in place on U.S. 1 in both directions between the Pennsylvania Turnpike Interchange and Old Lincoln Highway for line striping;

Motorists also are reminded that southbound Old Lincoln Highway remains closed through late September from the ramp to southbound U.S.1 to Bristol Road in Middletown Township for reconstruction. Motorists are detoured south on U.S. 1 to the Neshaminy Interchange, then right onto Rockhill Drive back to Old Lincoln Highway.
 
Drivers are advised to allow extra time when traveling through or near the work areas. All scheduled activities are weather dependent.
 
PennDOT is 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 U.S. 1 Section RC2 project that is scheduled to be completed in mid-2026. Allan Myers, Inc. of Worcester, PA is the general contractor on the $95 million U.S. 1 Section RC1 project that is expected to be completed this year.
