Bustleton Pike Lanes To Close For Resurfacing

LOWER SOUTHAMPTON, PA — Lanes are expected to be closed overnight on Bustletown Pike this week as PennDOT crews work to repave the highway.

The lane closures will take place on Route 532 between Street Road and Bridgetown Pike. They're set for 7 p.m.-5 a.m starting Tuesday, Sept. 25, and running through Friday, Oct. 12, as crews repair and resurface 44 miles of state highway in Bucks County.

Drivers are encouraged to allow extra time if they must travel through the work area because slowdowns will occur, PennDOT said.

The resurfacing on Bustletown Pike is part of a $12 million project to repave a bunch of Bucks County highways between now and December. Highways already completed under the project include:

• Route 152 (Main Street/Limekiln Pike/Hilltown Pike) between East Butler Avenue and Mill Road in Chalfont Borough, and New Britain and Hilltown townships
• Hilltown Pike between Route 152 (Limekiln Pike/Hilltown Pike) and Callowhill Road in Hilltown Township
• Park Avenue/Ferry Road between Route 152 (North Main Street) and Old Easton Road in Chalfont Borough, and New Britain and Plumstead townships
• Swamp Road between Route 232 (2nd Street Pike) and Route 413 (Newtown Bypass) in Wrightstown and Newtown townships
• Route 563 (Ridge Road) between West Park Avenue and Route 313 (Dublin Pike) in Perkasie Borough and East Rockhill Township
• Pine Run Road between Limekiln Road and Old Dublin Pike in Doylestown Township
• Route 563 (Mountain View Drive) between Route 313 (Dublin Pike) and Route 412 (Durham Road) in East Rockhill, Haycock and Nockamixon townships.

State highways that are still scheduled for resurfacing under the project include:

• Business U.S. 1 (Lincoln Highway) from Neshaminy Street to east of South Bucks Town Road in Penndel Borough and Middletown Township
• Trenton Road between Route 513 (Neshaminy Street/Bellevue Avenue) and Route 413 (Veterans Highway) in Hulmeville Borough and Middletown townships
• Main Street from Reading Avenue to the ramp to northbound Interstate 95 in Yardley Borough and Lower Makefield Township
• Pineville Road/Ridge Road/Street Road/Lurgan Road between Route 413 (Durham Road) and Van Sant Road in Buckingham, Solebury and Upper Makefield township
• New Ford Mill Road between Bordentown Road and Tyburn Road in Falls Township.

Under this improvement project, PennDOT is milling the existing roadway surface and repaving the state highways with new asphalt. The new pavement will seal the roadways and provide motorists with a smoother riding surface, PennDOT says.

Work on the entire project is expected to be completed in December.
