Last part of the resurfacing delayed due to additional nearby construction work and to avoid "additional traffic woes."
A PennDOT official says additional construction work in Levittown will be delayed to avoid "additional traffic woes." Repaving work on New Falls Road in Levittown was postponed due to concerns over traffic congestion, PennDOT Community Relations Coordinator Charles Metzger said last Thursday. The resurfacing project started Sept. 12, and encompassed the majority breadth of New Falls Road in Levittown, starting at the Route 413 intersection.
