BUCKS COUNTY, PA — The Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT) has announced a significant development in its ongoing $116 million project aimed at reconstructing, widening, and improving a crucial three-mile stretch of U.S. 1 in Bucks County. In a strategic move to advance the project, a traffic shift on southbound U.S. 1 is scheduled to take place, promising to impact the local traffic flow significantly.
From Monday, October 28, to Thursday, October 31, motorists can expect a single lane pattern in both directions on Rockhill Drive, extending from Old Lincoln Highway to Neshaminy Boulevard. This temporary traffic adjustment will be in effect nightly from 8:00 PM to 6:00 AM to facilitate crucial drainage installation activities.
In addition, on Wednesday, October 30, a single lane pattern will also be implemented on U.S. 1 approaching the Penndel/Business U.S. 1 interchange. This daytime change, running from 9:00 AM to 3:00 PM, is a vital step in completing the traffic shift. As a result, southbound U.S. 1 traffic will be rerouted from the northbound side of the highway onto newly constructed bridges over the SEPTA and CSX railway lines at the Neshaminy Exit.
The comprehensive project by PennDOT aims to enhance the safety and efficiency of this heavily trafficked corridor, which serves as a vital link for residents and commuters in the region. The completion of these preparatory activities marks a significant milestone in the project’s timeline.
Motorists are advised to remain vigilant and heed posted warnings, ensuring a smooth transition during the traffic shift. PennDOT encourages all drivers to plan their routes accordingly and to anticipate potential delays.
