PennDOT to Begin Construction on Langhorne-Yardley Road Intersection Improvement Project in Middletown Township

PennDOT announced this week that construction will begin on Tuesday, May 28, on a project to improve traffic congestion and safety on Langhorne-Yardley Road at the Bridgetown Pike and Woodbourne Road intersections in Middletown Township, Bucks County.

Under this contract, PennDOT’s contractor will construct a single-lane roundabout and realign the roadway; install upgraded traffic signals, stormwater management, ADA curb ramps, signage, and lighting; perform resurfacing operations; and improve mobility for pedestrians and bicyclists.

The existing signalized T-intersection at Langhorne-Yardley Road and Bridgetown Pike will be replaced by a single-lane roundabout. The proposed roundabout will help decrease vehicular speeds while improving safety and traffic flow. Motorists will be directed to use a detour route once the roundabout construction begins.

Improvements at the Langhorne-Yardley Road and Woodbourne Road Intersection include realigning the northern leg of Woodbourne Road and constructing auxiliary turn lanes on all four approaches. In addition, the eastern leg of Woodbourne Road will be widened to allow for a left turn lane on Langhorne-Yardley Road approaching Erica Drive.

Beginning, Tuesday, May 28, motorists are advised of the following travel restriction:

Tuesday, May 28, through late August, from 9:00 AM to 3:00 PM, periodic lane closures are scheduled weekdays in both directions on Langhorne-Yardley Road between Bridgetown Pike and Woodbourne Road for utility and clearing work.
