13727 | Bristol Road Intersection Improvements (Bensalem Township, Bucks County)
The proposed roadway widening project is an approximately a 2.3 mile section of SR 2025 (Bristol Road) and the typical section will include two 11-foot travel lanes, an 11-foot center left-turn lane and 2-foot shoulders. The proposed shoulder improvements will be full-depth installations. Resurfacing of the existing roadway is proposed throughout the project limits. Secondary roads access Bristol Road by way of both signalized and non-signalized intersections. Signalized intersections with Bristol Road include: Old Lincoln Highway, Grandview Avenue/Neshaminy Mall entrance, Galloway Road/Elfin Avenue, Third Avenue/Richlieu Road, Bensalem Boulevard and Pasqualone Boulevard. Reconstruction is proposed for each signal, including ADA ramps and pedestrian signals. Included in the intersection improvements are additional left and right turning lanes throughout the corridor consisting of left turn lanes at the intersections of Bristol Road at Old Lincoln Highway and Richlieu Road; right turn lanes at the intersections of Bristol Road at Old Lincoln Highway, Neshaminy Boulevard, Galloway Road and Richlieu Road. Land use along Bristol Road is primarily commercial and mixed residential. Additional improvements include the re-alignment of Bristol Road at the intersection of Third Avenue/Richlieu Road to improve the horizontal alignment of the segment for improved sight distance.
There are existing sidewalks within the project limits and will be replaced in-kind upon any impacts due to the widening. New sidewalks and ADA ramps are proposed along the corridor from Neshaminy Mall to Richlieu Road. As a result of the improvements to SR 2025, approximately 65 parcels will be affected by either required ROW takes and/or temporary easements throughout the limits of the project. Also, included under this project are several tracks of land identified to be deeded to PennDOT from Bensalem Township.
The project limits overlap a private development that is proposed along the Westside of Bristol Road directly across from Bensalem Boulevard. This work has been completed under an HOP contract by a private development entity.
