U.S. 1 Periodic Lane Closures at Night Next Week for Construction in Bucks County
King of Prussia, PA - Periodic northbound and southbound lane closures may be in place on U.S. 1 between the Neshaminy and Route 413 interchanges in Bensalem and Middletown townships, Bucks County, on Monday, May 24, through Thursday, May 27, from 8:00 PM to 6:00 AM the following morning for various construction activities, the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT) announced today.
Periodic lane restrictions also may be in place Sunday, May 23, through Thursday, May 27, from 8:00 PM to 6:00 AM the following morning for construction on northbound and southbound U.S. 1 between Old Lincoln Highway and the Neshaminy Interchange, and on eastbound and westbound Street Road (Route 132) between Old Lincoln Highway and Kingston Way in Bensalem Township.
In addition, the Bristol Road bridge over U.S.1 in Bensalem Township is expected to reopen by Friday, May 27. The bridge, situated between Neshaminy Boulevard and Old Lincoln Highway, has been closed since November 2020 for construction of a longer replacement structure that will provide room for widening on U.S. 1 as part of the Section RC2 project.
Crews are reconstructing and widening almost three miles of roadway, improving the interchanges, and constructing several new bridges — including new structures over the Neshaminy Creek and over rail lines near the Penndel exit — under two contracts (RC1, RC2) to rebuild, widen and improve U.S.1 in Bucks County.
JD Eckman, Inc., of Atglen, PA, is the general contractor on the $110.8 million Section RC2 project that is scheduled be completed in mid-2026. Alan Myers Construction, of Worcester, PA, is the general contractor on the $95 million Section RC1 project that is expected to be completed in late 2021.
Sections RC1 and RC2 are two of the 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.
