The Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT) today announced
that
Bristol Road will reopen this afternoon on the west side of the
intersection
with Route 263 (York Road) in Warminster and Warwick townships, Bucks
County,
after crews reconstructed the intersection. The intersection was closed on
July
5.

The west side of Old York Road at the intersection Route 263 (York Road) of

will close Monday, August 15, through Friday, August 19, for reconstruction
of
the intersection.

During construction to rebuild the west side of Old York Road at its
approach
to Route 263 (York Road), traffic will be detoured over Meetinghouse Road,
Turkey Trot Road, Stoney Road, Meyer Way and Route 263 (York Road). Local
access will be maintained up to the construction zone as eastbound Old York

Road traffic will be able to reach Route 263 (York Road) to travel north
during
construction. Motorists are advised to allow extra time when traveling
through
the area.

The Bristol Road and Old York Road closures are associated with PennDOT's
$31.6
million project to reconstruct and improve four miles of Route 263 (York
Road)
between Bristol Road and Sugar Bottom Road in Warwick and Warminster
townships.
Construction began in March 2014 and is expected to finish in October 2017.


PennDOT is rebuilding Route 263 to provide a smoother, safer roadway for
motorists for decades to come. The improvements include full depth pavement

reconstruction of the existing four-lane concrete road and intersection
improvements.

In addition, crews are rehabilitating the bridge over the Neshaminy Creek;
rehabilitating the bridge that spans the Little Neshaminy Creek and Creek
Road;
improving drainage; installing new traffic signal equipment, guiderail,
signs,
pavement markings and curb ramps; and relocating aerial and underground
utilities.

To enhance travel along the corridor, PennDOT is installing new traffic
signals
at seven intersections on Route 263. The intersections include Tulip Road,
Kendarbren Drive/Private Drive, Kendarbren Drive/Ridge Drive, Bristol Road,

Meyer Way, Almshouse Road and Mill Road. Turn lanes are being lengthened or

added at Route 263's intersections with Bristol Road, Meyer Way and
Almshouse
Road. A new traffic signal also is being installed at Deer Run Drive.

The $31,571,380 project is financed with 100 percent federal funds. J.D.
Eckman, Inc. of Atglen, Chester County, is the general contractor.
