Heads up, drivers! There’s a long-term lane closure coming to Route 532 (Bustleton Avenue) in Lower Southampton Township. The Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT) is kicking off a pipe replacement project starting December 1. This will close one lane between Fifth Street and Gerald Avenue around the clock until December 12.
The goal of this project is to improve drainage and keep Route 532 in good shape for the long haul. Expect some serious delays if you’re traveling through this area. PennDOT suggests finding alternate routes or giving yourself extra time to get where you’re going.
