U.S. 1, Route 132 (Street Road) Closures, Ramp Restrictions at Night Next Week for Construction in Bensalem Township
King of Prussia, PA – Lane restrictions will be in place on U.S.1 and Route 132 (Street Road) in both directions at night next week for various construction activities and utility installation under 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 and locations are:
- Sunday, August 25, through Thursday, August 29, from 8:00 PM to 5:00 AM the following morning, periodic northbound and southbound lane closures will be in place on U.S. 1 between Rockhill Drive and Old Lincoln Highway for roadway and bridge construction;
- Sunday, August 25, through Thursday, August 29, from 8:00 PM to 5:00 AM the following morning, periodic westbound lane closures will be in place on Street Road (Route 132) between Old Lincoln Highway and Kingston Way for roadway and bridge construction; and
- Monday, August 26, through Thursday, August 29, from 8:00 PM to 5:00 AM the following morning, eastbound Route 132 (Street Road) will be reduced to a single lane between Old Lincoln Highway and Kingston Way for installation of a natural gas line. In addition, periodic restrictions will be in place on the ramp from southbound U.S.1 to eastbound Street Road (Route 132) during the utility work.
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.
