PennDOT officials asked drivers to allow extra time when traveling through the work area.
In addition, periodic lane restrictions also may be in place on eastbound and/or westbound Street Road between Old Lincoln Highway and Kingston Way in Bensalem Township during the same time periods.
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. The second phase will widen the highway.
