BUCKS COUNTY, PA — As part of a sweeping $116 million initiative to revamp a three-mile stretch of U.S. 1 in Bensalem and Middletown townships, Bucks County, the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT) has announced significant changes to traffic patterns on Rockhill Drive, set to begin next week. This ambitious project aims to reconstruct, widen, and improve this crucial segment of roadway, enhancing both safety and traffic flow in the region.
Motorists navigating Rockhill Drive can expect a shift to a single lane traffic pattern, accompanied by intermittent 15-minute stoppages. These adjustments will be in effect from 8:00 PM to 5:00 AM on Thursday, April 18, spanning the area between Horizon Boulevard and Mall Boulevard. The implementation of these changes marks a critical phase in the ongoing construction efforts on Rockhill Drive, designed to facilitate smoother travel and accommodate the needs of a growing population.
PennDOT advises drivers to plan for additional travel time when passing through the affected section of Rockhill Drive, as the new traffic configurations are likely to result in temporary backups and delays. As with all large-scale infrastructure projects, these scheduled activities remain contingent on favorable weather conditions and may be subject to modification based on unforeseen circumstances.
As the work progresses, residents and commuters alike are encouraged to stay informed about updates and adjustments to traffic patterns.
