Drivers in lower Bucks County should prepare for delays next week as the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT) conducts overhead concrete removal on a crucial section of southbound U.S. 1 in Falls Township. This work is scheduled for December 17, 2024, and will necessitate a lane closure from 9:00 AM to 2:00 PM near the Route 32 (Bridge Street) overpass.
The operation is contingent on weather conditions, but officials anticipate significant backups and delays during the closure. PennDOT advises motorists to reduce their speeds, remain vigilant for work crews, and allow for additional travel time while the concrete removal is in progress.
