The Township was notified by PADOT that Notice of Intent to Enter Letters were sent to some residents near the Brownsville Road Bridge.

“This letter is to inform you of PennDOT’s recent mailing of Notice of Intent to Enter letters sent to some of your constituents for field surveys to be performed for the Brownsville Road Bridge over Neshaminy Creek Replacement Project in Lower Southampton and Middletown Townships, Bucks County.

The Commonwealth of Pennsylvania Eminent Domain Code permits entry upon private property to enable the department to conduct this operaiton.

The Notice of Intent to Enter letter emphatically states that the need for the department to access property at this stage of the project is no indicaiton that an acquisition will be necessary.  however, the language is, by necessity, official in tone and may generate some concern.”

If you have any questions, please contact the project manager, Judith Arena at 610-205-6524 or via email at jarena@pa.gov.

Periodic northbound and southbound lane closures will continue to be in place this summer on U.S. Route 1, on Mondays through Fridays from 8 p.m. to 6 a.m. the following morning, for construction on two reconstruction projects between the Neshaminy Interchange in Bensalem Township, and Route 413 in Middletown Township.

Periodic lane restrictions also may be in place Sunday nights through Friday mornings from 8 p.m. to 6 a.m. the following morning, for construction on northbound and southbound U.S. Route 1 between Old Lincoln Highway and the Neshaminy Interchange, and on eastbound and westbound Street Road (Route 132) between Old Lincoln Highway and Kingston Way in Bensalem Township.
