PA Turnpike to Close Overnight May 2 between Bensalem and I-95 Interchanges
 

The Pennsylvania Turnpike Commission advises motorists that I-276 will be closed in both directions from 11 p.m. on Saturday, May 2 to 5 a.m. Sunday, May 3 between the Bensalem Interchange, Exit 351, and the I-95 Interchange, Exit 40, in Bristol Township, Bucks County.

The closure is necessary for the protection of motorists and workers so crews can safely remove bridge beams at milepost 351.6. Single-lane closures will occur in both directions on Saturday, May 2 beginning at 9 p.m. to prepare for the closure.

Follow I-95 South (5.2 miles) to Exit 35 for State Route 63 West/Woodhaven Road (3.2miles) to US Route 1 North towards Morrisville (2.5 miles).  Re-enter the PA Turnpike at the Bensalem Interchange, Exit 351.

Eastbound Detour

Follow US Route 1 South (2.4 miles), then stay right onto North Roosevelt Blvd. to exit for State Route 63 East/Woodhaven Road (3.5 miles) to exit for I-95 North towards Trenton.  Remain on I-95 North towards New York/New Jersey Turnpike 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.
