Wolf Administration Announces Work to Begin on Project to Repair and Resurface 35 Miles of State Highway in Bucks County

​King of Prussia, PA – The Wolf Administration announced today that construction is scheduled to begin on Monday, April 22, on a project to repair and resurface 35 miles of state highway in Bucks County.

"Resurfacing projects like this are an important part of investing in the state's infrastructure," Governor Tom Wolf said. "These repairs will help increase safety and improve efficiency on the roadways in Bucks County."

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.

The work schedule is:

• Monday, April 22, through Friday, April 26, from 9:00 AM to 3:00 PM, periodic lane restrictions with flagging are scheduled on Route 32 (River Road) between Byram Road and Old Ferry Road in Tinicum and Plumstead townships, for milling and paving; and
• Wednesday, April 24, through Wednesday, May 1, from 9:00 AM to 3:00 PM, periodic lane restrictions with flagging are scheduled weekdays on Stump Road between Cabin Run Road and Route 413 (Durham Road) in Plumstead Township, for milling and paving.

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.

Additional state highways scheduled for resurfacing under this contract include:

• Route 32 (Bridge Street/Delmorr Avenue/River Road) between U.S. 1 (Lincoln Highway) and Bedford Place in Lower Makefield and Falls townships, and Morrisville Borough;
• Route 32 (Main Street/River Road) between Route 232 (Windy Bush Road) and Ferry Street/Byram Road in Tinicum and Plumstead townships and New Hope Borough;

• Station Avenue/Cornwells Avenue between Herringbone Avenue and Route 513 (Hulmville Road) in Bensalem Township;
• New Tyburn Road between Lincoln Highway and Cedar Lane in Falls Township;
• Trenton Avenue between Woolston Drive/Lincoln Highway and Route 32 (Delmorr Avenue) in Falls Township and Morrisville Borough;
• Swamp Road between Rushland Jamison Road and Route 232 (2nd Street Pike) in Wrightstown Township;

James D. Morrissey, Inc., of Philadelphia, is the general contractor on the $10,457,349 project, which is financed with 100 percent state funds from Act 89, Pennsylvania's transportation plan. Work on the project is expected to be completed in December.
