    Project Overview

    County: Bucks
    Municipality: Northampton Township
    State Routes: Route 2089, Route 332
    Local Names: Almshouse Road, Jacksonville Road
    Project Type: Intersection Improvement
    MPMS Number: 110310
    Proposed Construction Start: February 2027
    Proposed Construction End: June 2028
    Last Updated: August 2026

    The intersection of Jacksonville Road and Almshouse Road currently experiences significant traffic backups during the AM and PM peak hours. This is partially due to high traffic volumes, including trucks and school buses, the lack of dedicated turning lanes, and poor intersection geometry. The poor intersection geometry is due to a retaining wall and a stream located adjacent to the travel lane on the southeastern corner of the intersection. Trucks and school buses turning from Jacksonville Road onto Almshouse Road often encroach into the westbound Almshouse Road travel lane. The intersection also experiences flooding during storm events.

    This project will address congestion and operational issues at the intersection. Improvements will include installing a single-lane roundabout at the intersection of Jacksonville Road and Almshouse Road, widening the eastbound left-turn lane at the intersection of Old Jacksonville Road and Almshouse Road, shoulder widening, drainage improvements, and signing upgrades.

    The project will use staged construction and maintain one lane of traffic in each direction along Almshouse Road. Jacksonville Road will be detoured during construction. The detour will utilize West Bristol Road and York Road for vehicles traveling north and west towards Jamison. Vehicles traveling north and east towards Richboro will utilize East Bristol Road and Hatboro Road.
