Major Lower Bucks Co. Intersection Project Completed

LOWER BUCKS COUNTY, PA — The Pennsylvania Department of Transportation has completed the $11.1 million project to improve travel and safety on Langhorne-Yardley Road through the Bridgetown Pike and Woodbourne Road intersections in Middletown Township.

PennDOT said Friday that drivers may encounter periodic single lane closures over the next several weeks to allow PennDOT’s contractor to perform final construction activities.

A PennDOT contractor constructed a new single-lane roundabout at Langhorne-Yardley Road and Bridgetown Pike.

That roundabout was reopened last August.

Work also included realigning the roadway; installing upgraded traffic signals, stormwater management, ADA curb ramps, signage, and lighting; performing resurfacing operations; and improving mobility for pedestrians and bicyclists.

Improvements on Langhorne-Yardley Road and its intersection with Woodbourne Road included realigning the northern leg of Woodbourne Road and constructing auxiliary turn lanes on all four approaches.

The eastern leg of Woodbourne Road was also widened to allow for a left turn lane on Langhorne-Yardley Road approaching Erica Drive.

James D. Morrissey, Inc. of Philadelphia, was the general contractor on this project, which was financed with 80 percent federal funds and 20 percent state funds.
