PennDOT to Replace Old Lincoln Highway Culvert over Branch of Neshaminy
Creek in Bensalem Township, Bucks County

5/10/2018-KING OF PRUSSIA

Construction is scheduled to begin on Monday, May 21, to replace the
culvert
carrying Old Lincoln Highway over a branch of Neshaminy Creek in Bensalem
Township, Bucks County, the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation
(PennDOT)
announced today. The new culvert is scheduled to be completed in November.

Over the next several months, PennDOT's contractor will replace the
existing
steel pipe-arch culvert with a new precast concrete box culvert.

Due to the nature of the repairs, Old Lincoln Highway will be closed and
detoured between Rockhill Drive and Route 132 (Street Road). Old Lincoln
Highway motorists will be directed to use Rockhill Drive, U.S. 1 and Route
132
(Street Road).

Motorists are advised to allow extra time when traveling through the area.
Local access will be maintained up to the construction zone.

Built in 1921, the one-span culvert is 15 feet long and 57 feet wide. The
structure carries about 13,795 vehicles a day.

The replacement of the Old Lincoln Highway culvert over a branch of
Neshaminy
Creek is part of PennDOT's $6.8 million project to rehabilitate five
structurally-deficient bridges in Bucks and Montgomery counties, three
structurally-deficient culverts in Bucks County, and to stabilize a stream
embankment at a bridge in Bucks County. Work on the entire project is
scheduled
to be completed in late 2018.

Loftus Construction, Inc. of Cinnaminson, N.J., is the general contractor
on
the project that is financed with 100 percent state funds through Act 89,
Pennsylvania's transportation plan.
