King of Prussia, PA – Daytime and overnight lane restrictions will be in place next week on U.S. 1 and Street Road (Route 132) in Bensalem Township, Bucks County for bridge, roadway, and utility construction under a project to widen and improve U.S.1 and reconstruct the interchange at Street Road (Route 132), the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT) announced today.
Work on this project will be in accordance with Centers for Disease Control and state Department of Health guidance as well as a project-specific COVID-19 safety plan, which will include protocols for social distancing, use of face coverings, personal and job-site cleaning protocols, management of entries to the jobsite, special signage and relevant training.
The work schedule is:
- Monday, May 4, through Saturday, May 9, from 6:00 AM to 4:00 PM and from 8:00 PM to 6:00 AM the following morning, periodic eastbound and westbound lane closures will be in place on Street Road (Route 132) between Old Lincoln Highway and Kingston Way for water line installation and bridge construction;
- Monday, May 4, through Saturday, May 9, from 6:00 AM to 4:00 PM, periodic northbound and southbound lane closures will be in place on U.S. 1 between Old Lincoln Highway and Rockhill Drive for roadway and bridge construction; and
- Monday, May 4, through Saturday, May 9, from 6:00 AM to 4:00 PM, the acceleration lane from the ramp to southbound U.S. 1 from the Pennsylvania Turnpike's Bensalem Interchange will be closed for roadway and bridge construction. Motorists on the ramp will be required to stop before entering southbound U.S. 1.
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.
Crews currently are reconstructing the middle section along 1.3 miles of U.S. 1, and the westbound side of Street Road (Route 132) under the second major stage of the project. Ongoing activities also include construction of the center sections of U.S. 1 bridges over Street Road (Route 132), the Pennsylvania Turnpike and the Turnpike ramps at the Bensalem Interchange, and utility installations in the middle of U.S. 1 and on Street Road (Route 132).
Allan A. Myers, Inc. of Worcester, Montgomery County is the general contractor on the $95.1 million project which is financed with 80 percent federal and 20 percent state funds. The project is expected to complete by late 2022.
This contract (RC1) is 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.
