Drivers in lower Bucks County should prepare for delays on southbound U.S. 1 next week as the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT) plans to conduct overhead concrete removal. The work is scheduled for Wednesday, December 17, 2023, and will necessitate a lane closure from 9:00 AM to 2:00 PM near the Route 32 (Bridge Street) overpass.
Impact on Traffic and Safety Measures
PennDOT has indicated that the operation is dependent on weather conditions, but significant backups and delays are anticipated during the lane closure. Motorists are urged to reduce speeds and remain vigilant for construction crews working in the area. To facilitate smoother travel, drivers should allow extra time for their journeys while the concrete removal is in progress.
For those looking to avoid potential congestion, PennDOT recommends checking real-time traffic conditions. The MyChesCo Traffic Center offers updates that can assist in finding alternate routes before departure.
