MIDDLETOWN TWP, PA — Drivers in central Bucks County are being warned to prepare for months of daytime disruptions as PECO Energy begins a utility improvement project that will close a key stretch of Brownsville Road in Middletown Township.
According to PECO, utility construction is scheduled to begin Thursday, February 5, and will continue through Tuesday, June 30. Weather permitting, Brownsville Road will be closed and detoured on weekdays from 9:00 AM to 3:00 PM between Playwicki Street and Broadview Avenue.
During the closure, motorists will be directed to follow a detour using Old Lincoln Highway, Route 213 (Maple Avenue/Bridgetown Pike), and Bristol Road. Local access will be maintained throughout the project, but officials cautioned that traffic backups and delays are likely along both the work zone and surrounding detour routes.
The extended closure is expected to affect daily commuting patterns, school traffic, and local travel during peak daytime hours. Drivers are advised to allow extra travel time and remain alert for changing traffic conditions as construction progresses.
With months of intermittent closures and detours ahead, motorists are encouraged to stay informed by visiting the MyChesCo Traffic Center at https://www.mychesco.com/traffic/, where real-time traffic updates, detour information, and regional roadway alerts can help drivers plan ahead and avoid unnecessary delays.
