PennDOT is reconstructing and widening U.S. 1, improving the interchanges, and constructing new bridges over the Neshaminy Creek, Rockhill Drive, and over rail lines near the Penndel/Business U.S. 1 exit under the $113.3 million Section RC2 contract.
JD Eckman, Inc., of Atglen, PA is the general contractor on the project, which is scheduled to be completed in mid-2026.
Section RC1 improvements between Old Lincoln Highway and the Pennsylvania Turnpike in Bensalem Township were completed in December 2022.
