A two-year roundabout project in Doylestown starts February off with a significant change to New Britain Road and a detour that will continue through the summer.
PennDOT announced Wednesday that New Britain Road will be reduced to a single-lane between Easton Road and Rolling Hill Boulevard starting Thursday, Feb. 1.
Drivers will have to use Lower State Road, U.S. 202, and Easton Road, a roughly two-mile detour, at all times until the lane reopens sometime later this year, according to a PennDOT news release.
The lane closure is related to a larger project installing two roundabouts where Easton Road intersects wtith New Britain/Sauerman Roads, near Triangle Park, in Doylestown Township. That project is expected to be completed in April 2026.
Here’s all the traffic news you need for this week, and an early announcement for a project next week in Lower Bucks County.
Work schedules are weather dependent and should be considered on weekdays between 9 a.m. and 3 p.m. unless otherwise noted.
