Intersection Reconstruction to Close Rockhill Drive Next Weekend in Bensalem Township

King of Prussia, PA – The Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT) announced today that intersection reconstruction will close Rockhill Drive and two U.S. 1 ramps next weekend in Bensalem Township under PennDOT’s $116 million project to reconstruct, widen, and improve a three-mile section of U.S. 1 in Bucks County.

Motorists are advised of the following travel restriction:

Motorists on northbound U.S. 1 heading for the east side of Rockhill Drive will be detoured north on U.S. 1, exit at Penndel/Business U.S. 1, turn left onto southbound Old Lincoln Highway, turn left onto Bristol Road, and turn right onto Neshaminy Boulevard to access Rockhill Drive.

Motorists on northbound U.S. 1 heading for the west side of Rockhill Drive will be detoured north on U.S. 1, exit at Penndel/Business U.S. 1, and turn left onto southbound Old Lincoln Highway to access Rockhill Drive.

Motorists on westbound Rockhill Drive heading for southbound U.S. 1 will be detoured north on U.S. 1, exit at Penndel/Business U.S. 1, and turn left onto southbound Old Lincoln Highway to access the ramp to southbound U.S. 1.

Motorists are advised to allow extra time when traveling near the work area because significant backups and delays will occur. All scheduled activities are weather dependent.

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.
