Construction

In advance of the Buck Road Bridge Replacement Project scheduled to begin in the latter half of 2026, the Northampton Bucks County Municipal Authority must relocate both water and sewer lines to make way for the new bridge.  This work by the Authority will begin on July 16, 2025, and will last for approximately one year before PennDOT begins the bridge replacement.

Starting approximately August 15^th, 2025, Buck Road will be closed in both directions near the Johnny Apples restaurant.  Traffic will be able to access businesses adjacent to the bridge area. However, traffic will need to follow the POSTED DETOUR. The bridge will be closed 24 hours a day until approximately November of 2025.  During this closure, Buck Road bridge over Mill Creek will be open for emergency services vehicles only. Thereafter, the road will reopen but will be subject to lane closures and traffic flagging operations until the Authority’s project is complete.

 In addition to Buck Road, Old Bristol Road will be closed for approximately 7 days at the intersection of Buck Road on approximately August 28^th.

Motorists are advised to avoid the area and plan your travels accordingly.

The Township is aware of an existing storm sewer issue on Roberts Avenue. The Township is in the process of gathering information for a formal design. It is anticipated that work will be completed late Winter of 2025. Public Works has temporarily installed steel plates over effected areas in the roadway and will continue monitoring them until the project is completed. We kindly ask for your patience and understanding as we work to address this matter.
