The stoppages, which could last up to 15 minutes, will take place on West Lincoln Highway on Monday through Friday from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m.
The stoppages will take place due to crews setting beams for the new Route 1 bridge above, according to PennDOT.
Officials from the state transportation department advised drivers to give extra time when traveling through the area.

The work is weather dependent.
PennDOT is in the middle of a large project to reconstruct, widen, and improve a three-mile section of Route 1 in Bensalem and Middletown townships.
The Route 1 project is on Phase 2. The second phase will widen the highway.

The $95 million Phase 1 of the project in Bensalem Township is mostly completed.
The $111.5 million Phase 2 of the project is being carried out by Chester County-based contractor JD Eckman Inc. The work is expected to be done in mid-2026.
A planned third phase would begin at the Penndel Interchange and continue just past the Pine Street (Route 413) overpass in Middletown Township.
