MIDDLETOWN, PA — The Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT) has announced a significant milling and paving operation set to commence on Route 413 (Langhorne Newtown Road) in Middletown Township. This work is part of an extensive resurfacing project aimed at repairing and paving 25 miles of state highways in Bucks County using durable bituminous material.

Operations are scheduled to begin on Monday, September 9, and will continue through Friday, September 13. Work will occur nightly from 7:00 PM until 5:00 AM the following morning. During these hours, Route 413 at the Route 332 (Newtown Bypass) Interchange will experience lane closures, managed by flagging personnel to direct traffic flow safely and efficiently.

Motorists traveling through the area are advised to plan for potential delays. The lane closures are necessary to perform the milling and paving work that will ultimately result in improved road conditions. PennDOT has emphasized the importance of allowing extra travel time to account for possible backups and slowdowns due to the construction activities.

This resurfacing project involves the repair, milling, and repaving of seven state highways across the county. By applying new asphalt pavement, the project aims to seal the roadways, enhancing both safety and the quality of the driving surface. The improvements will provide a smoother and safer ride for motorists, reaffirming PennDOT’s commitment to maintaining and upgrading Pennsylvania’s infrastructure.

All scheduled activities are contingent on favorable weather conditions. Adverse weather could potentially delay the project’s timeline, so drivers are encouraged to stay informed about any changes to the schedule.
