U.S. 1, Street Road (Route 132) Lane Closures at Night Next Week for Construction in Bensalem Township

King of Prussia, PA – Lane closures will be in place at night next week on U.S. 1 and Street Road (Route 132) for excavation, bridge construction and other activities on a project to reconstruct, widen and improve a 1.3-mile section of the highway in Bensalem Township, Bucks County, the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT) announced today. 

 

The work schedule is: 

• Sunday, July 21, through Friday, July 26, from 8:00 PM to 6:00 AM the following morning, alternating northbound and southbound single lane closures will be in place on U.S. 1 between Rockhill Drive and Old Lincoln Highway; and
• Sunday, July 21, through Friday, July 26, from 8:00 PM to 6:00 AM the following morning, alternating eastbound and westbound single lane closures will be in place on Street Road (Route 132) between Old Lincoln Highway and Kingston Way. 

In addition, the westbound Pennsylvania Turnpike (I-276) will be closed from 12:01 AM to 6:00 AM Sunday, July 21, between the Interstate 95 and U.S. 1/Bensalem interchanges for placement of deck beams on the new U.S.1 bridge over the Turnpike. The bridge is being replaced with a wider structure as part of the ongoing improvements to U.S. 1. Westbound Turnpike motorists will be detoured south on I-95 to the Woodhaven Road (Route 63) interchange, then west on Woodhaven Road and north on U.S. 1 to access the Turnpike interchange at Bensalem.

Motorists are advised to allow extra time when traveling through the work areas because backups and slowdowns will occur. All scheduled activities are weather permitting.

The work is part of a corridor improvement project, and the first of three construction contracts, to rebuild and widen U.S. 1; replace aging bridges; and install safety enhancements along a four-mile section of the expressway from just north of Philadelphia to just north of Route 413 (Pine Street) in Middletown Township and Langhorne Borough.
