The bridge carrying Worthington Mill Road over the Neshaminy Creek in
Northampton and Wrightstown townships, Bucks County, will be closed for
three
days beginning Tuesday, September 19, at 9:00 AM, for repairs to the timber

deck, the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT) said today.

During the closure, Worthington Mill Road motorists will be detoured over
Route

average of 2,489 vehicles a day.
