NO-CLOVERLEAF COALITION SLATES INFO SESSIONS FOR PUBLIC
ON RC3 PROJECT THROUGH LANGHORNE MANOR, MIDDLETOWN, AND LANGHORNE BOROUGH
7 PM meetings Sept. 18 and Sept. 25 to be held at Dunn-Givnish
BUCKS COUNTY, PA (September 3, 2025) –– Public information sessions outlining the impact of PennDOT’s planned reconstruction of US1 (RC3) through Langhorne Manor Borough, Middletown Township, and Langhorne Borough will be held later this month at Dunn-Givnish, 378 South Bellevue Avenue in Middletown, on the border of all three municipalities.
The No-Cloverleaf Coalition, a grassroots organization opposed to the current PennDOT plans, will conduct information sessions on Thursday, September 18 with a focus on Langhorne Manor Borough and on Thursday, September 25 with a focus on Middletown Township. Both meetings are designed to expand public awareness of the effects of the project on the surrounding community. Starting time for both sessions will be 7 PM.
At an RC3 meeting in June multiple PennDOT officials and consultants and a representative of State Sen. Frank Farry’s office all maintained that the plans are still in development and nothing is decided. The No-Cloverleaf Coalition believes that it is essential for residents to convey their opinions on the project to their municipal governing bodies, to state elected officials, and to PennDOT.
Among the topics that will be discussed are:
“PennDOT selected its current RC3 option at a closed-door meeting that excluded residents of all three municipalities as well as Langhorne Borough’s government leaders,” said the No-Cloverleaf Coalition. “We agree with proposals to make US 1 safer, but the community needs to have all of the facts around this project. If PennDOT persists in building it as planned, all of us will be forced to live with the consequences forever.”
PennDOT in 2020 solicited agreement from officials of Middletown Township and Langhorne Manor Borough for its scheme to eliminate the existing service roads and build a partial cloverleaf highway interchange to funnel traffic into Langhorne Borough. PennDOT anticipates construction beginning in 2029.
Langhorne Borough officials, who were excluded from the initial meeting, have consistently opposed the PennDOT plan based on environmental, safety, quality of life and other factors; Langhorne Borough’s traffic consultant, SAFE Engineering, has developed an alternative plan that would retain the service roads and would cost an estimated $60 million less than the PennDOT plan.
