Wolf Administration Announces Work to Begin on Improvement Project to
Resurface 12 Miles of State Highway in Bucks County

8/11/2017-KING OF PRUSSIA

The Wolf Administration announced today that construction is scheduled to
begin
Monday, August 14, on an improvement project to repair and resurface 12
miles
of state highway in Bucks County. Work on the entire project is expected to
be
completed in mid-November.

"Improving and maintaining our highways is part of our continuing efforts
to
upgrade the Commonwealth's infrastructure and support the local economy,"
Governor Tom Wolf said. "This latest project in Bucks will ensure easier,
safer
and more efficient travel for residents in the surrounding communities."

Beginning Monday, August 14, from 7:00 PM to 5:00 AM, lane restrictions
with
flagging are scheduled on Route 263 (York Road) between County Line Road
and
Tennyson Drive in Warminster Township, for patching, milling and paving.
This
weeknight operation will continue through Friday, September 15.

Motorists are advised to allow extra time when traveling through this work
zone
because slowdowns will occur during construction. The contractor's schedule
is
dependent on the weather.

Additional state highways scheduled for resurfacing under this contract
include:

• Route 332 (Jacksonville Road) between County Line Road and Little
Neshaminy
Creek in Ivyland Borough and Warminster and Northampton townships;
• Bristol Road between Route 232 (2nd Street Pike) and Bristol Road in
Upper
Southampton, Northampton and Lower Southampton townships;
• Bristol Road between Route 532 (Buck Road) and Bristol Road in Lower
Southampton Township; and
• Langhorne-Yardley Road between Stony Hill Road and Route 332
(Yardley-Newtown
Road) in Lower Makefield Township.

Under this improvement project, PennDOT will mill the existing roadway
surface
and repave the state highways with new asphalt. The new pavement will seal
the
roadways and provide motorists with a smoother riding surface.

Blooming Glen Contractors, Inc., of Blooming Glen, PA, is the general
contractor on the $4,403,892 project, which is financed with 100 percent
state
funds.
