BUCKS COUNTY, PA — The Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT) has announced an upcoming pavement repair and resurfacing project on sections of Route 32 (River Road) in Bucks County. The work will impact areas within New Hope and Yardley boroughs, as well as Plumstead, Solebury, Upper Makefield, and Lower Makefield townships.
Scheduled to begin Monday, June 23, the repairs will take place on weekdays from 9:00 AM to 3:00 PM and are expected to continue through late July, weather permitting. Rolling closures and detours will be implemented at several locations along Route 32, including the following areas:
- Between Route 232 (Windy Bush Road) and Aquetong Road: Traffic will be redirected to Route 232 and Aquetong Road.
- Between Lurgan Road and Stoneybrook Road: Motorists will use Lurgan Road, Route 232, Pineville Road, and Stoneybrook Road as detour routes.
- Between Taylorsville Road and Route 532 (General Washington Memorial Boulevard): A detour will direct drivers to Taylorsville Road.
- Between Lurgan Road and Aquetong Road: Traffic will follow Lurgan Road, Street Road, Route 232, and Aquetong Road.
PennDOT confirmed that local access will remain available up to the active work zones, though backups and delays are anticipated. Drivers are encouraged to allocate additional travel time and exercise caution when navigating through the affected areas.
This initiative is part of a $5 million effort to improve road conditions in the county. The project involves selective base repairs, microsurfacing overlay, and the installation of new line and legend painting on Route 32, as well as other key routes including U.S. 13 (Bristol Pike) and Knights Road.
