The Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT) said construction activities will continue next week on Hulmeville Avenue under a project to enhance safety and improve travel through the Hulmeville Avenue and Business U.S. 1 (Lincoln Highway) intersection in Penndel Borough, Bucks County.
Motorists are advised of the following travel restrictions:
•Tuesday, May 30, through Friday, June 2, from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m., a lane closure is scheduled on Hulmeville Avenue between Business U.S. 1 (Lincoln Highway) and Crescent Street.
•Friday, June 2, through Friday, Sept. 29, a right lane closure will be in place 24/7 on northbound Business U.S. 1 (Lincoln Highway) between Glen Avenue and Lincoln Avenue.
Motorists are advised to allow extra time when traveling through the work area because backups and delays will occur. All scheduled activities are weather dependent.
Under this project, PennDOT’s contractor will widen the existing intersection to add exclusive left-turn lanes; mill, pave and stripe the intersection and its approaches; upgrade existing traffic signal equipment; and install new ADA curb ramps at the Business U.S. 1 (Lincoln Highway) intersections at Hulmeville Avenue and Noeland Avenue.
Additional enhancements include replacing the existing sidewalk along the north and south side of Business U.S. 1 (Lincoln Highway) approaching the intersection with Hulmeville Avenue; adjusting the curbing to improve truck turning radius; and upgrading drainage inlets and pipes.
Road-Con, Inc. of West Chester, Chester County, is the general contractor on the $2.2 million project, which is financed with 100 percent federal funds.
