King of Prussia, PA – Weekday lane restrictions are scheduled on two state highways as part of a project to repair and resurface 44 miles of state highway in Bucks County, the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT) announced today.

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

State highways scheduled for resurfacing under this contract include:

- Business U.S. 1 (Lincoln Highway) from Neshaminy Street to east of South Bucks Town Road in Penndel Borough and Middletown Township;
