Section of Brownsville Rd in Middletown Twp to be Closed 4 1/2 Months for PECO Utility Improvements

PECO Energy will be performing utility construction on a section of Brownsville Road in Middletown Township beginning this upcoming Thursday, PennDOT officials said.

Weather permitting, drivers are advised of the following travel restriction:

• Thursday, February 5, through Tuesday, June 30, from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m., Brownsville Road will be closed and detoured weekdays between Playwicki Street and Broadview Avenue. During the closure, drivers will be directed to use Old Lincoln Highway, Route 213 (Maple Avenue/Bridgetown Pike), and Bristol Road.

Local access will be maintained at all times. Drivers are advised to allow extra time when traveling near the work area or along the detour route because backups and delays may occur.

PECO Energy will complete this project under a PennDOT Highway Occupancy Permit.
