MIDDLETOWN TWP, PA — Motorists traveling through Middletown Township, particularly near Core Creek Park, should prepare for weekday lane restrictions and slower travel as PennDOT continues a major roadway improvement project on Langhorne-Yardley Road and Woodbourne Road.
At a Glance
- Roads Affected: Langhorne-Yardley Road, Woodbourne Road, Bridgetown Pike, Briggs Road
- Dates: Saturday, May 30, through Friday, June 12
- Times: 9:00 AM to 3:00 PM
- Reason: Paving and roadway construction
PennDOT said periodic lane closures with flagging will be in place between 9:00 AM and 3:00 PM as crews perform paving and other construction activities tied to a $10.9 million traffic improvement project.
The restrictions will affect Langhorne-Yardley Road between Bridgetown Pike and Briggs Road, as well as Woodbourne Road between Kilburn Road and the entrance to Core Creek Park.
Traffic will be directed through the work zones by flaggers when lane closures are active. No detour has been announced.
Drivers should plan extra time when traveling through the corridor, especially during daytime hours, as backups and delays are expected.
The ongoing project is designed to improve traffic flow and safety at the intersections of Langhorne-Yardley Road with Bridgetown Pike and Woodbourne Road. PennDOT previously completed a new single-lane roundabout at Langhorne-Yardley Road and Bridgetown Pike, which reopened in August 2025.
Additional improvements are scheduled through early 2026, including roadway realignment, new turn lanes, upgraded signals, pedestrian accommodations, drainage improvements, and other intersection enhancements.
Motorists are encouraged to remain alert for changing traffic patterns and seek alternate routes if delays develop.
