BUCKS COUNTY, PA — In a significant development affecting Bucks County commuters, the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT) has announced upcoming changes to traffic flow on Rockhill Drive. This adjustment forms part of a comprehensive $116 million effort to reconstruct, widen, and enhance a three-mile stretch of U.S. 1 in Bensalem and Middletown townships.
Initially slated for implementation on April 18, the new traffic pattern has been postponed to the following week due to scheduling adjustments. On Thursday, April 25, from 8:00 PM to 5:00 AM, motorists navigating Rockhill Drive between Horizon Boulevard and Mall Boulevard should anticipate a single-lane configuration accompanied by 15-minute traffic stoppages impacting both directions. These measures are essential for establishing a revised traffic arrangement to facilitate ongoing construction activities on Rockhill Drive.
Travelers are encouraged to budget additional time for their journeys through the affected area, as the lane closures and temporary halts in traffic flow are expected to lead to congestion and potential delays. PennDOT has emphasized that all planned operations are contingent upon favorable weather conditions and may be subject to further adjustments as necessary.
