The overall project features several infrastructure upgrades, including a new single-lane roundabout at Langhorne-Yardley Road and Bridgetown Pike, which reopened to traffic last August.
The project also involved realigning the roadway and installed updated traffic signals, stormwater management systems, ADA-compliant curb ramps, new signage, and lighting. The updates are additionally designed to improve mobility for pedestrians and bicyclists.
The ongoing work involves realigning the northern leg of Woodbourne Road and constructing auxiliary turn lanes on all four approaches, according to PennDOT.

Crews will also widen the eastern leg of Woodbourne Road to accommodate a left-turn lane on Langhorne-Yardley Road approaching Erica Drive.
James D. Morrissey, Inc., of Philadelphia, is serving as the general contractor for the project. The improvements are funded through 80 percent federal and 20 percent state monies.
