Additionally, single-lane closures will be in place at locations on U.S. 1 and Street Road (Route 132) beginning Sunday, March 1, through Friday, March 6, from 8:00 p.m to 6:00 a.m. the following morning for additional bridge and roadway work, PennDOT said. 

The work locations are:

• Northbound or southbound U.S. 1 between Rockhill Drive and Old Lincoln Highway; and
• Eastbound or westbound Street Road (Route 132) between Old Lincoln Highway and Kingston Way.

Motorists are advised to allow extra time when traveling through the work areas because backups and slowdowns will occur. All scheduled activities are weather permitting.

Work crews currently are reconstructing the middle section along 1.3 miles of U.S. 1, the westbound side of Street Road (Route 132), and the westbound Street Road (Route 132) ramps to and from northbound U.S. 1 under the second major stage of the project.

Ongoing activities also include construction of the center sections of U.S. 1 bridges over Street Road (Route 132), the Pennsylvania Turnpike and the Turnpike ramps at the Bensalem Interchange,  and utility installations in the middle of U.S. 1.

Stage 1 reconstruction of the northbound lanes of U.S.1 and the ramps on the eastbound side of the Street Road (Route 132)/U.S. 1 Interchange were completed earlier this year
