Construction Planned on U.S. 1 in Bensalem & Middletown Townships

PennDOT announced construction is planned next week on U.S. 1 in Bensalem and Middletown townships.

Motorists are advised of the following travel restriction:

• Tuesday, April 1, and Wednesday, April 2, from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m., lane closures will be in place on U.S. 1 in both directions between Rockhill Drive and Fairhill Avenue for activation of a digital message board.

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

The work is part of PennDOT’s U.S. 1/RC2 contract that will reconstruct and widen U.S. 1 from south of the Rockhill Drive Interchange to north of the Penndel/Business U.S. 1 Interchange.
