Travel on County Line Road between Centennial Road and Route 232 (Huntingdon Pike/Second Street Pike) will be restricted to one lane of travel beginning Monday, as the ongoing water main installation project continues.
The work schedule is as follows:
• Monday through Friday (Jan. 7-11) – Eastbound and westbound County Line will be restricted between Centennial Road and Route 232 (Huntingdon Pike/2nd Street Pike) from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m.
Crews will work at night from Monday (Jan 7.) through Jan. 19 from 7 p.m. to 6 a.m.
• Jan. 20 through April 6 – County Line Road will be closed and detoured
between Route 232 (Huntingdon Pike/2nd Street Pike) in Upper Southampton Township, Bucks County and Lower Moreland Township, Montgomery County.
Motorists will be detoured over Route 232 (Huntingdon Pike/2nd Street
Pike), Jaymor Road, and James Way.
The work is being completed by the Bucks County Water and Sewer Authority under a PennDOT Highway Occupancy Permit.

wow! If you think 2nd Street Pike gets congested between 3-5pm... Wait until the 20th!
I'm glad they are just shutting it down and getting it done rather than working on it little by little for the next 20 years like the other end of county line

I heard the contractor wanted to work through nights (when less traffic would be on the road) but Hatboro rejected the plan. As a result, they had to limit the hours of construction thereby extending the schedule for completion.

Hatboro has been known to not make any sense lol

My understanding of it was Hatboro did not want to inconvenience their residents who live along County Line Road... So instead everyone else has to deal with lane closures and traffic for a little longer. Oh well.

I agree Tom. A bit of hassle now is worth the longevity it will give motorists who use this road daily.
