The state transportation department said crews will be working on Maple Avenue in Middletown Township and Bristol-Oxford Valley Road in Bristol, Falls, and Middletown townships during the week.
PennDOT officials said crews will hit more than 40 state roads and highways in the five-county Philadelphia region this week.
“Crews will restrict travel lanes on these state highways to patch areas of deteriorating pavement. Motorists are advised to be alert of this moving operation and to expect intermittent lane closures and possible slowdowns when driving near work crews. All activities are weather dependent,” PennDOT said in a statement.
