Periodic lane restrictions may also take place Sunday through Friday from 8 p.m. to 6 a.m. for construction on northbound and southbound Routeย 1ย between Old Lincoln Highway and the Neshaminy Interchange and on eastbound and westbound Street Road between Old Lincoln Highway and Kingston Way in Bensalem Township.

The work is for the ongoing reconstruction and widening of almost three miles of roadway, improving the interchanges, and constructing several new bridges, including new structures over the Neshaminy Creek and over rail lines near the Penndel exit. The Route 1 project is on Phase 2. Theย second phase will widen the highway.

The $110.8 million second phase of the project is being carried out by Chester County-based contractor JD Eckman Inc.

A proposed third phase would begin at the Penndel/Business Route 1 Interchange and continue just past the Pine Street (Route 413) overpass in Middletown Township. The full details of that phase have not been released. PennDOT has not included a proposed construction start date or cost estimate.
