Newportville Road closure in Bristol, Bensalem drags into this week


The Pennsylvania Turnpike Commission’s closure of a section Newportville Road in Bensalem and Bristol townships that started last week will continue throughout this week.

The commission is working on a bridge that carries Route 276 over Neshaminy Creek, closing Newportville Road between Zimmerman Lane and New Falls Road — which are also the roads being used to detour traffic.
