BETHLEHEM TWP., Pa. – Drivers through Bethlehem Township should expect a long-term road closure starting Monday.

The Bethlehem Township Police Department says Church Road between Country Club Road and William Penn Highway will be closed to southbound traffic beginning on Sept. 28. The closure will last until approximately Dec. 23 as crews work on road reconstruction and paving.

Northbound traffic will be permitted throughout the construction project. Police ask motorists traveling north to reduce speeds and drive with care through the active work zone.

Detours will be in place to accommodate those needing to travel south, police said. The detour route utilizes Country Club Road, Green Pond Road, and Farmersville Road in Bethlehem Township.

Motorists should follow the detour route from points north, bringing them to the Easton Avenue/Farmersville Road traffic signal. Drivers commuting to Notre Dame High School should anticipate extended travel times.

Phase two of the project will be a final paving of the roadway expected in the spring/summer of 2027.
