In addition to the milling and repaving work, the Lower Bucks County Joint Municipal Authority is using the opportunity to carry out a water main replacement project along Woodbourne Road.

On Monday, the work will cause a closure of parts of Trenton and Woodbourne roads, according to the authority.

Due to the work, some businesses along Woodbourne Road were forced to close due to lack of water. The authority said some customers will be notified of possible service impacts, including a slight discoloration of their water.

PennDOT is advising drivers to give extra time when traveling through the work zones.

The milling and repaving work is weather dependent.

PennDOT said the projects are part of a regional repaving program in Bucks, Chester, Delaware, Montgomery, and Philadelphia counties. The state plans to resurface more than 240 miles of roadway.

“PennDOT’s contractors are repairing, milling, and repaving state highways with new asphalt pavement that will seal roadways and provide motorists with a safer and smoother riding surface,” the state transportation department said in a statement.
