PennDOT Completes Bethlehem Pike Safety Improvement Project in Springfield, Whitemarsh Townships
King of Prussia, PA – The Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT) announced today that construction has been completed on safety improvements at intersections along a 1.9-mile section of Bethlehem Pike in Springfield and Whitemarsh townships, Montgomery County.
This project began in March 2024 to convert a section of Bethlehem Pike from an undivided four-lane section to a three-lane section with a two-way left turn lane; modify left-turn signal phasing; coordinate arterial signals; install pedestrian countdown timers at select locations; add retroreflective backplates to improve signal visibility; and mill and overlay pavement along the corridor.
The Bethlehem Pike intersections included in this safety improvement project were Flourtown Shopping Center Driveway, Mill Road, College Avenue, Bysher Avenue, Wissahickon Avenue, Haws Lane, Montgomery Avenue, Sunnybrook Road, and Hillcrest Road.
The project aims to enhance the safe and efficient movement of vehicles, emergency service vehicles, pedestrians, and bicyclists and to reduce angle and rear-end crashes along the corridor.
Highway Materials, Inc. of Flourtown, Pennsylvania, was the general contractor on the $2,477,701 project, which was financed with 100 percent federal funds.
Motorists can check conditions on major roadways by visiting www.511PA.com. 511PA, which is free and available 24 hours a day, provides traffic delay warnings, weather forecasts, traffic speed information, and access to more than 1,000 traffic cameras. 511PA is also available through a smartphone application for iPhone and Android devices, by calling 5-1-1, or by following regional X alerts.
