The ongoing work on the intersections of Langhorne-Yardley Road at Bridgetown Pike and Woodbourne Road continues.

According to PennDOT, periodic lane closures with flagging will occur weekdays from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. through Friday, May 29, on Langhorne-Yardley Road between Bridgetown Pike and Briggs Road and Woodbourne Road between Kilburn Road and the entrance to Core Creek Park.

PennDOT warned drivers to allow for extra time when traveling through the work zones.

Additional completed work includes roadway realignment, updated traffic signals, ADA-compliant curb ramps, and improved facilities for pedestrians and cyclists.

The next phase of the project, which runs through early 2026, involves realigning the northern leg of Woodbourne Road and adding auxiliary turn lanes to all four approaches at its intersection with Langhorne-Yardley Road.
