Daytime Bristol Road Detours Ahead + Weekend Music and Stage Shows
Feasterville Trevose, PA · August 21, 2026
Friday's morning sun is breaking through the clouds, setting up a pleasant kickoff to the weekend across our local streets and trailheads.
The Lead
Drivers who rely on Bristol Road for their daily commutes will need to factor extra travel time into their morning plans as summer wraps up. The Pennsylvania Department of Transportation announced that the Upper Southampton Municipal Authority will begin utility construction along Bristol Road starting Monday, August 31.
The project will require closing the roadway weekdays between 9:00 AM and 3:00 PM along the stretch connecting Buck Road and Bustleton Pike. PennDOT has established a designated detour route redirecting drivers through Buck Road, Bridgetown Pike, and Bustleton Pike, though local access to residents and neighborhood streets will be maintained throughout the work.
Crews expect the utility installation to run through Friday, September 4, provided weather holds. Township officials recommend bookmarking the detour routes early to bypass potential daytime congestion during the week-long project.
Local Pulse
Brownsville Road Pedestrian Safety Upgrades Progress Crews continue installing rapid-flashing beacons and curb ramps near Avenue C to enhance safer walking corridors.

Spotlight & Story
- The 1730 Feaster Family Homestead
- When Dutch immigrants John and Rachel Feaster settled on local land in 1730, they anchored a farming hamlet near the Buck Hotel stagecoach stop. Two centuries later, that original family plot evolved into the modern business center residents drive past every afternoon.
