Wells Road in Doylestown Township remains closed between Lower State and Turk roads for Parkway construction, and Detweiler Road is closed permanently between Stump and Upper State roads in Warrington Township.

Lower State Road is closed to northbound traffic and detoured between Bristol and Almshouse roads in Doylestown Township for . This operation is unrelated to the Parkway project.
