Starting Monday, March 31, crews will work weeknights from 7 p.m. to 5 a.m. through Friday, May 16.
The work will impact Bridgetown Pike and Maple Avenue between Buck Road and Lincoln Highway in Lower Southampton Township, Middletown Township, and Langhorne Borough.
During the overnight hours, motorists can expect lane closures with flaggers directing traffic.

The timing of the project coincides with the closure of the Brownsville Road bridge, also known as the U.S. Army Private First Class George Raymond Huntzinger bridge, which will urge drivers onto a detour along Bridgetown Pike and Maple Avenue.
A PennDOT spokesperson said the nighttime work schedule is designed to minimize the impact of the repaving project during the detour.
Under the plan, PennDOT’s contractors will repair, mill, and repave the state roadway with new asphalt pavement before sealing it.

PennDOT advises drivers to allow extra travel time through the work zone, as backups and delays are anticipated.
The milling and repaving work is weather dependent.
The project is part of PennDOT’s plan to repave 200 miles of state highway across the five-county Philadelphia region.
