PennDOT to Close Brownsville Road Bridge Monday, March 31
PennDOT to Begin Construction to Replace Brownsville Road Bridge in Bucks County
Brownsville Road to close Monday, March 31 through fall 2026
King of Prussia, PA – The Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT) announced today that construction will begin Monday, March 31, on a $12.1 million project to replace the Brownsville Road bridge over Neshaminy Creek in Lower Southampton and Middletown townships, Bucks County.
Under this project, PennDOT’s contractor will replace the existing 68-year-old concrete box beam bridge. The new structure, measuring 278 feet long and 41.375 feet wide, will be approximately 24 feet longer and 9.875 feet wider than the existing bridge.
In addition, the vertical alignment will be raised over Neshaminy Creek to provide an adequate waterway opening and to slightly improve the existing sight distance on both approaches to the bridge. In addition, the new structure’s design allows for one less pier than the existing structure to improve the flow under the bridge.
Other construction includes widening shoulders to improve the intersection sight distance, improving stormwater management, resurfacing the approach roadway, and installing partially grouted riprap for scour protection at the piers and abutments.
Beginning, Monday, March 31, through fall 2026, Brownsville Road will be closed 24/7 between Creek Road and Periwinkle Avenue.
During the closure motorists are directed to use Brownsville Road, Bristol Road, (Route 213) Bridgetown Pike/West Maple Avenue, and Old Lincoln Highway.
Local access will be maintained up to the construction zone. Drivers are advised to allow extra time when traveling near the work area because backups and delays will occur. All scheduled activities are weather dependent.
For more information, please visit the Brownsville Road Bridge Replacement over Neshaminy Creek project webpage.
