Turnpike Bridge Construction to Close Newportville Road June 30-July 31

The Pennsylvania Turnpike Commission announced today that overhead bridge construction will close Newportville Road in Bristol and Bensalem townships, Bucks County, beginning Monday, June 30.

Motorists are advised of the following travel restriction:

• Monday, June 30, through Thursday, July 31, Newportville Road will be closed and detoured 24/7 between Zimmerman Lane and New Falls Road. During the closure, motorists will be directed to use Zimmerman Lane and New Falls Road.

The work is part of the Commission's $64.2 million project to reconstruct and widen the Turnpike between Bensalel Boulevard and the I-95 flyover connection.

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