Township Projects

This project involves replacing the bridge that carries Brownsville Road over Neshaminy Creek. In order to do so, 0.07 acres of right-of-way and 0.08 acres of temporary construction access of Periwinkle Park are needed. The project will not affect activities, features, or attributes of Periwinkle Park. 

The project will begin spring of 2025. The bridge will be closed completely to traffic for the duration of construction in an effort to control costs and project duration.

In February 2025, the Middletown Township Board of Supervisors authorized advertisement of bid specifications to complete Phase 2 improvements to the Langhorne Gables neighborhood. A contractor is expected to be awarded summer of 2025. 

Construction is expected to be completed end of 2025.

Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT) will be making improvements to Langhorne-Yardley Road (SR 2049) between Bridgetown Pike and Woodbourne Road.  Middletown Township has been actively working with PennDOT over the last several years to design this project and prepare it for construction by PennDOT’s contractor. 

The signalized intersection at Langhorne-Yardley Road and Bridgetown Pike will be replaced with a roundabout to improve traffic flow at safer speeds.  At the intersection of Langhorne-Yardley Road at Woodbourne Road, the northern leg of Woodbourne Road will be reconstructed to improve the alignment at the intersection, and auxiliary turn lanes will be constructed on all approaches.  The traffic signal system at this intersectional will also be modernized.  Pedestrian enhancements will be made as part of this project, including two pedestrian crossing signals near Maple Point Middle School.

Construction expected to be complete end of 2025.

Maple Avenue (SR 213) is one of the busiest roads in Middletown Township. A vital east-west corridor, it connects Feasterville to the west to Oxford Valley in the east while cutting through Langhorne Borough in between. North Flowers Mill is an intersecting road that connects Maple Avenue to other parts of the Langhorne section of the Township.

Initially evaluated by the Township for expanding the adaptive traffic signal system, PennDOT recommended the Township first make less expensive technological improvements that are still expected to improve congestion issues in the corridor. Six total signals are slated for technology enhancements—stretching from N. Flowers Mill/Winchester/Langhorne-Yardley Road to Maple Avenue/Wheeler Way.

The project is currently being developed by a PennDOTappointed engineer. A grant was awarded by PennDOT to cover most cost associated with this project for the planned improvements. 

The project is expected to be completed 2026.

Crossing major roads safely is a critical component of encouraging pedestrianism and creating reliable alternatives to single-occupancy vehicles. A crossing along Langhorne-Yardley Road at the intersection of Langhorne-Yardley Road and Maple Point Drive is proposed and would add a flashing pedestrian signal to alert drivers of pedestrians crossing.

A $146,283 grant has been earned to offset the cost of this project. Construction is expected to be complete end of 2025.

Middletown Community Park, the Township’s largest park, features a large barn used all year for various recreational activities and several baseball and soccer fields used by sports organizations and residents alike. The Township recently obtained a $1 million PA DCED Local Share Account grant to convert lighting at Middletown Community Park to LEDs. LED lighting has a longer lifespan than traditional lighting and uses 90% less electricity. While not every light at the park will be converted in 2025, this is expected to improve the majority of the park.

The LED field lighting project will be paid for with grant funding, but any costs above the grant award will be paid for from the Capital Fund. The security enhancement project will also be paid for from the Capital Fund.

The Board awarded a contract for this project in March of 2025 and improvements are expected to be made by late summer/early fall.

Built in 2008, the North Station houses satellite stations for both the LanghorneMiddletown Fire Co. and PenndelMiddletown Emergency Squad. Unlike most other stations in the Township, this facility is owned by Middletown Township and leased to the emergency response agencies. The agencies are responsible to maintain the day-to-day needs of the station. However, large repairs may necessitate Township involvement.

Much of the building and its finishes are original. The flooring of the vehicle storage areas is deteriorating. The Township received nearly $43,000 from the Bucks County Redevelopment Authority (RDA) Municipal Grants Program for funding.

Improving pedestrian safety is a goal of the Township, as identified in the 2023 Multimodal Improvement Plan. Signalized intersections are among the most dangerous areas for pedestrians when proper infrastructure and technology is not present.

Improvements to pedestrian crossing technology is planned at several intersections along New Falls Road and Woodbourne Road. Improvements will modernize the intersections with safer and inclusive amenities, including audible push-buttons for visually impaired residents.

A grant from PennDOT has been obtained to cover the equipment and construction cost of this project.

Construction expected to be complete end of 2025.

Reetz Avenue is a small residential road sandwiched between Hulmeville Borough and the I-295 corridor. A large culvert in the area is in significant need of repair. Failure of the stormwater infrastructure will result in failure of the roadway itself, leaving some residents with no access to their property. The project entails reinforcement with a concrete lining and repair of the surrounding embankment. Once complete, this project will reduce incidental maintenance costs. 

Construction is expected to be completed end of 2025.

Middletown Township's Road Improvement Program is a fourteen-year plan to repave more than 100 miles of Township-owned roads in the community.  Damaged and worn roads can cause safety hazards and additional risk to vehicle maintenance. It is important to keep road repaving on schedule because delays cause additional wear to roads, making them more expensive to fix and maintain over longer periods of time.

The twelfth year of the Road Improvement Program was recently authorized by the Middletown Township Board of Supervisors. A full list is available below. Repaving is expected to occur between July and September.

The Township solicits bids for repaving several miles of Township roads each year. Soliciting bids from contractors allows the Township to find a competitive rate from various businesses, while avoiding overhead costs such as equipment and seasonal personnel. 

The full list of roads (all or in part) to be paved include:

• North Flowers Mill Road
• Big Oak Road (from Township Line Road to a point approximately 1,400 feet west)

Included as Alternates:  

• Erica Drive 

In addition to these roads, PennDOT is busy throughout the area repaving state-owned roads.
 
Construction is expected to be completed by the fall.  Please follow posted signage as crews perform work.
