    Project Overview

    County: Bucks
    Municipalities: Lower Southampton and Middletown Townships
    State Route(s): Route 2043
    Local Name: Brownsville Road
    Project Type: Bridge Replacement

    The project will replace the existing 68-year-old four-span prestressed concrete box beam bridge with a three-span prestressed concrete bulb tee beam bridge in Lower Southampton and Middletown townships. The new structure, measuring 278 feet long and 41.375 feet wide, will be approximately 24 feet longer and 9.875 feet wider than the existing bridge.

    In addition, the approach roadways will be reconstructed to raise the vertical alignment over Neshaminy Creek to provide an adequate waterway opening and to slightly improve the existing sight distance on both approaches to the bridge.

    Initially work was planned under staged construction with traffic being maintained using a one-lane alternating flow pattern under the control of temporary traffic signals. The anticipated construction was predicted to take 30 months to complete. 

    After careful overview of the project, and discussions with stakeholders, construction will now take place utilizing a full detour. The new traffic control plan is expected to shorten construction by approximately 12 months. All scheduled activities are weather dependent.

    Brownsville Road is scheduled for full closure beginning, Monday, March 31, 2025, through approximately fall 2026.

    During the closure, motorists are directed to use Brownsville Road, Bristol Road, (Route 213) Bridgeton Pike/West Maple Avenue, and Old Lincoln Highway. (Please see detour map under Resources)
