Nearby: Construction to begin on Second St Pike Bridge Wednesday

The Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT) announced last week that construction will begin on the Route 232 (Second Street Pike) bridge over Neshaminy Creek in Northampton and Wrightstown townships, Bucks County, under a project to repair six bridges in Bucks and Chester counties that sustained damage from the remnants of Hurricane Ida in September 2021.

Motorists are advised of the following travel restriction:

• Wednesday, September 13, through early October, weekday periodic 15-minute lane closures will take place on Route 232 (Second Street Pike) between Swamp Road and Twining Road.

Built in 1982, the 48-foot-wide structure carries an average of 7,264 vehicles per day.

Motorists are advised to allow extra time when traveling through the work area because backups and delays may occur.

The schedule is weather dependent.
