King of Prussia, PA – The Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT) announced today that the ramp from Rockhill Drive to southbound U.S. 1 in Bensalem Township will reopen Monday night, September 9, after two years of construction under PennDOT's $116 million project to reconstruct, widen, and improve a three-mile section of U.S. 1 in Bucks County.
In addition to the ramp reopening, motorists are advised of the following travel restrictions:
- Monday, September 9, from 8:00 PM to 6:00 AM the following morning, a single lane pattern will be in place in both directions on Rockhill Drive between Old Lincoln Highway and Neshaminy Boulevard for line striping and a traffic shift.
- Monday, September 9, to approximately Sunday, December 15, the left turn lane from westbound Rockhill Drive to the ramp to northbound U.S. 1 will close. Motorists will detour south on Old Lincoln Highway, east on Street Road (Route 132) to U.S. 1 North.
- Tuesday, September 10, from 8:00 PM to 5:00 AM the following morning, a single lane pattern will be in place on southbound U.S. 1 between Highland Avenue and the PA Turnpike Interchange for line striping and a traffic shift.
Drivers are advised to allow extra time when traveling near the work area because backups and delays may occur.
The work is part of PennDOT's U.S. 1/RC2 contract that will reconstruct and widen U.S. 1 from south of the Rockhill Drive Interchange to north of the Penndel/Business U.S. 1 Interchange. This project also will improve the U.S. 1 interchanges at Neshaminy, Penndel/Business 1, and Rockhill Drive. Additionally, the bridges over Rockhill Drive, the Neshaminy Creek, and Business U.S. 1/CSX/SEPTA will be replaced.
