Daytime Detours Begin Today on West Bristol Road

Feasterville Trevose, PA · August 17, 2026

Early rain is clearing out just in time for the morning rush, though daytime detours starting today on West Bristol Road might add a few extra minutes to your drive.


The Lead

Commuters who rely on West Bristol Road will need to adjust their mid-day routes starting this morning. Municipal authority crews are initiating essential underground infrastructure repairs today, requiring West Bristol Road to close to through traffic weekdays between 9:00 AM and 3:00 PM.

The daily daytime closures will remain in effect for approximately two weeks while workers complete line maintenance and surface restoration. Detour signs are positioned to direct drivers along designated alternate routes, and emergency vehicles will maintain access through the work area at all times. PennDOT and local public works officials recommend leaving extra travel time during the daily work window, as localized congestion is expected near the intersection connectors until the project wraps up later this month.
