Eastbound Turnpike Closing Overnight Sunday In Bucks Co.

BRISTOL TOWNSHIP, PA — The Pennsylvania Turnpike's eastbound lanes will be closed for six hours overnight this weekend for roadwork, the turnpike commission has announced.

The closure, for a bridge beam installation, will be on Sunday, July 14, from 12:01-6 a.m. between the Bensalem interchange, Exit 351, and the I-95 interchange, Exit 40 in Bristol Township.

The closure on I-276 is necessary for the protection of motorists and workers so crews can safely install new bridge beams at milepost 351.1.

For a detour, motorists are advised to exit at the Bensalem interchange and follow U.S. 1 south. Stay right onto North Roosevelt Boulevard to exit for S.R. 63 East/Woodhaven Road to exit for I-95 North toward Trenton. Motorists may then continue traveling on I-95 North toward New York to re-enter the PA Turnpike.

Pennsylvania State Police and turnpike personnel will be positioned at the impacted areas to assist drivers. Changeable message signs will also provide information on closures and detours. Motorists are encouraged to plan travel accordingly.
