MIDDLETOWN TWP, PA — Overnight drivers in Bucks County should prepare for lane restrictions and slower travel next week as PennDOT begins nighttime line striping operations near the U.S. 1 and I-295 interchange.
At a Glance
- Roads Affected: U.S. 1 approaching the I-295 interchange
- Dates: Monday, May 11 – Friday, May 15
- Times: Nightly, 9:00 PM – 5:00 AM
- Reason: Line striping and bridge repair operations
Lane closures will affect both directions of U.S. 1 approaching the I-295 interchange during overnight hours while crews complete line striping tied to a larger interstate bridge repair project.
Drivers should expect backups and slower overnight travel through the work zone. Motorists are encouraged to plan extra time and seek alternate routes where possible during active construction periods.
The work is part of a $56.1 million federally funded infrastructure project focused on repairing deteriorating interstate bridges and improving roadway safety along critical travel corridors.
Project crews will repair bridge decks, structural steel, concrete components, guiderail systems, sign supports, and expansion joints. Additional work includes repainting overhead sign structures and upgrading roadway lighting to LED fixtures.
All scheduled construction activities are weather dependent and may be postponed if conditions change.
