Wolf Administration Announces Work to Begin on Project to Repair and
Resurface 44 Miles of State Highway in Bucks County

4/2/2018-KING OF PRUSSIA

The Wolf Administration announced today that construction is scheduled to
begin
Thursday, April 5, on a project to repair and resurface 44 miles of state
highway in Chester County.

"We are making concentrated investments to improving our roads across the
state, especially coming off such a harsh winter," Governor Tom Wolf said.
"Repairing and paving these Bucks County roadways will ensure smooth travel
and
keep commuters and their families safe."

Beginning Thursday, April 5, from 9:00 AM to 3:00 PM, lane restrictions
with
flagging are scheduled on Route 563 (Mountain View Drive) between Route 313

(Dublin Pike) and Route 412 (Durham Road) in East Rockhill, Haycock and
Nockamixon townships, for milling and paving operations. This weekday
restriction will be in effect through early June.

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

weather.

Additional state highways scheduled for resurfacing under this contract
include:

• Route 152 (Main Street/Limekiln Pike/Hilltown Pike) between East Butler
Avenue and Mill Road in Chalfont Borough, and New Britain and Hilltown
townships;
• Business U.S. 1 (Lincoln Highway) from Neshaminy Street to east of South
Bucks Town Road in Penndel Borough and Middletown Township;
• Route 532 (Bustleton Pike) between County Line Road and Route 213
(Bridgetown
Pike) in Lower Southampton Township;
• Route 563 (Ridge Road) between West Park Avenue and Route 313 (Dublin
Pike)
in Perkasie Borough and East Rockhill Township;
• Park Avenue/Ferry Road between Route 152 (North Main Street) and Old
Easton
Road in Chalfont Borough, New Britain and Plumstead townships;
• Trenton Road between Route 513 (Neshaminy Street/Bellevue Avenue) and
Route
413 (Veterans Highway) in Hulmeville Borough and Middletown townships;
• Swamp Road between Route 232 (2nd Street Pike) and Route 413 (Newtown
Bypass)
in Wrightstown and Newtown townships;
• Main Street from Reading Avenue to the ramp to northbound Interstate 95
in
Yardley Borough and Lower Makefield Township;
• Pineville Road/Ridge Road/Street Road/Lurgan Road between Route 413
(Durham
Road) and Van Sant Road in Buckingham, Solebury and Upper Makefield
townships;
• Pine Run Road between Limekiln Road and Old Dublin Pike in Doylestown
Township; and
• New Ford Mill Road between Bordentown Road and Tyburn Road in Falls
Township.

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