King of Prussia, PA – Intermittent overnight lane closures are scheduled next week on northbound and southbound Interstate 95 between New Falls Road and the Yardley Newtown Interchange for construction activities related to a project to repair and resurface 13 miles of Interstate 95 in Bensalem, Bristol, Middletown and Lower Makefield townships, Bucks County.
The work schedule is:
• Monday, November 13, through Friday, November 17, from 7:00 PM to 5:00 AM, intermittent lane closures are scheduled on northbound I-95; and
