Construction Continues on Langhorne-Yardley Road Intersection Improvement Project in Middletown Township, Bucks County

King of Prussia, PA – The Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT) announced today that construction continues on the $10.6 million project to improve traffic congestion and safety on Langhorne-Yardley Road at the Bridgetown Pike and Woodbourne Road intersections in Middletown Township, Bucks County.

Motorists are advised of the following travel restrictions on Monday, December 2, through early March 2025, from 9:00 AM to 3:00PM, at the following locations:

Drivers are advised to allow extra time when traveling through the work areas because backups and delays will occur. All scheduled activities are weather dependent.

Under this contract, PennDOT's contractor will construct a single-lane roundabout and realign the roadway; install upgraded traffic signals, stormwater management, ADA curb ramps, signage, and lighting; perform resurfacing operations; and improve mobility for pedestrians and bicyclists.

The existing signalized T-intersection at Langhorne-Yardley Road and Bridgetown Pike will be replaced by a single-lane roundabout. The proposed roundabout will help decrease vehicular speeds while improving safety and traffic flow. Motorists will be directed to use a detour route once the roundabout construction begins.

Improvements at the Langhorne-Yardley Road and Woodbourne Road Intersection include realigning the northern leg of Woodbourne Road and constructing auxiliary turn lanes on all four approaches. In addition, the eastern leg of Woodbourne Road will be widened to allow for a left turn lane on Langhorne-Yardley Road approaching Erica Drive.

Other enhancements on Langhorne-Yardley Road at the intersection approaches between Bridgetown Pike and Woodbourne Road include minor vertical realignment to improve sight distance and widening of lanes and shoulders.

In addition, features to improve pedestrian and bicyclist mobility include the following:

  • Rectangular Rapid Flashing Beacons (RRFBs) installed at the following existing pedestrian crossings: Langhorne-Yardley Road just east of the Briggs Road Intersection; and on Woodbourne Road at the Core Creek Park and Maple Point Middle School crossings.
  • Five-foot-wide paved shoulders.
  • New paved paths along Bridgetown Pike and Woodbourne Road to connect these intersections to the Core Creek Park driveways.
  •  Pedestrian accommodations at the roundabout and signalized intersection.
  •  Sidewalks constructed along the southern side of Langhorne-Yardley Road between Woodbourne Road and Briggs Road.

For more information, visit the Langhorne-Yardley Road Intersection Improvement Project page.

James D. Morrissey, Inc. of Philadelphia, is the general contractor on this project, which is financed with 80 percent federal funds and 20 percent state funds.

Motorists can check conditions on major roadways including color-coded winter conditions, by visiting www.511PA.com. 511PA, which is free and available 24 hours a day, provides traffic delay warnings, weather forecasts, traffic speed information, and access to more than 1,000 traffic cameras. 511PA is also available through a smartphone application for iPhone and Android devices, by calling 5-1-1, or by following regional X alerts.

PennDOT - District 6 News: PennDOT, Safety Partners Highlight Holiday Traffic Safety Across Southeast Pennsylvania

An update has been published to District 6 News on the PennDOT website. Please see below for details.

PennDOT - District 6 News

PennDOT, Safety Partners Highlight Holiday Traffic Safety Across Southeast Pennsylvania

​West Chester, PA – As the busy holiday travel season approaches, the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT), Pennsylvania State Police, West Chester Borough Police Department, West Goshen Township Police Department, AAA, and the Chester County District Attorney held a press event today at the Chester County Historic Courthouse in West Chester. The event aimed to remind drivers about the importance of safe driving practices and the consistent use of seat belts.

Operation Safe Holiday began on November 11 with the "Click It or Ticket" Thanksgiving enforcement mobilization and will continue until December 1. Pennsylvania law mandates that all occupants younger than 18 must wear seat belts when traveling in a vehicle. Drivers and front-seat passengers are also required to buckle up. Children under two must be secured in a rear-facing car seat, while children under four must be restrained in an approved child safety seat. Furthermore, children must use a booster seat until their eighth birthday.

"Buckling up takes less than three seconds and is the most effective way to reduce the risk of death or serious injury in a vehicle crash," said Pennsylvania State Police Cpl. Kelly MacIntyre. "We want everyone to arrive safely at their Thanksgiving dinners and holiday gatherings, and wearing a seatbelt is one of the simplest ways to help ensure a safe arrival."

Along with ensuring that everyone is wearing a seat belt during holiday travel, PennDOT reminds motorists that alcohol is not the only substance capable of impairing a person's ability to operate a motor vehicle.

Alcohol, marijuana, and other drugs can impair a driver's coordination, judgment, and reaction times. Some prescription and over-the-counter medications may cause extreme drowsiness, dizziness, and other side effects. Motorists should carefully read and follow all warning labels, especially those that caution against "operating heavy machinery," which includes driving a vehicle.

Throughout Operation Safe Holiday, law enforcement will conduct sobriety checkpoints, roving patrols, and regular traffic safety patrols beginning Wednesday, November 20, through the New Year's holiday to crack down on drivers impaired by drugs or alcohol.

"When you get on the road, you are pledging to use safe driving practices to keep all road users safe," said West Chester Borough Police Department Lt. James Gorman. "Anyone heading out to a bar or party must commit to staying sober for the night if they are driving or arrange for a sober ride home before they begin to drink alcohol."

According to PennDOT 2023 data, there were 506 crashes resulting in five fatalities in the Philadelphia region during the Thanksgiving travel period beginning Wednesday, November 22, and running through Monday, November 27. Of those, 47 crashes and three fatalities were impaired-driving related.

"With nearly 72 million Americans expected to be on the road during the long Thanksgiving holiday weekend, those who choose to drive while impaired are endangering not only themselves but also millions of others," said AAA Mid-Atlantic Manager of Public and Government Affairs Jana Tidwell. "It is never acceptable to get behind the wheel of a vehicle if you are buzzed, drunk, or otherwise impaired. The risk of injury or death to yourself, your passengers, and other drivers is not worth it, especially when there are plenty of options available to get home safely. AAA encourages everyone to enjoy Thanksgiving with friends and family without facing the devastating consequences of impaired driving. With so many easy alternatives to avoid driving after drinking, there is no reason to take that risk for yourself or others on the road."

Before you go out, plan ahead for a safe celebration:
  • Always drive 100 percent sober. Even one alcoholic beverage could be one too many.
  • Before you have even one drink, designate a sober driver to get you home safely. If you wait until you've been drinking to make this decision, you might not make the best one.
  • You have options to get home safely: designate a sober driver or call a rideshare or taxi. Getting home safely is always worth it.
  • If it's your turn to be the designated driver, take your job seriously and don't drink.
  • If you see a drunk driver on the road, call 911.
  • If you have a friend who is about to drink and drive, take the keys away and let a sober driver get your friend home safely.
