BUCKS COUNTY, PA — The Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT) has announced an impending bridge construction project by the Pennsylvania Turnpike Commission, set to commence on Newportville Road in Bristol and Bensalem townships. This infrastructure endeavor is poised to impact travel in the region significantly, necessitating a comprehensive understanding of the planned detours and schedule to mitigate travel disruptions.
Commencing on Monday, October 14, and continuing through Saturday, October 26, Newportville Road will experience a full closure around the clock between Zimmerman Lane and New Falls Road. This closure is critical for facilitating the necessary bridge construction activities. In response, motorists will be rerouted via Zimmerman Lane and New Falls Road to ensure continuity in their travel plans. It is essential for local residents and commuters to note that access will be maintained up to the work zone, allowing for essential travel within the vicinity.
PennDOT advises all motorists to anticipate potential delays and factor in additional travel time when navigating near the construction area. The nature of such extensive roadwork often leads to traffic backups, and patience is urged to ensure safety and efficiency throughout the project duration. It should also be noted that all scheduled activities are contingent on weather conditions, which may necessitate adjustments to the timeline.
