Jacksonville and Almshouse Road Roundabout

Project Summary

This project involves the construction of a single-lane Roundabout to improve traffic flow and eliminate the current backup conditions at the intersection.  The existing traffic signal will be removed as part of the project, which also includes stormwater improvements to reduce the potential for flooding at the intersection.

 The Township originally submitted concept plans to the Bucks County Planning Commission, and the project was subsequently included in the State Transportation Improvement Plan (TIP), making it eligible for State funding.  Engineering design is underway, and the estimated bid date is August 2025.  The estimated construction cost is $5 Million. Project construction will begin in 2025 and be completed in 2026.  The Township invested $35,000 in the concept plans.

"HOW TO NAVIGATE PENNSYLVANIA'S ROUNDABOUTS" 

Roundabouts are an innovation that are proving to save lives and reduce crashes and crash severity when they are installed. Because Pennsylvania is on track to install more roundabouts in the coming years, we’ve created this video to show you just how easy they are to navigate. After you watch the video, you’ll know how to use both single and multi-lane roundabouts whether in a vehicle, on a bicycle or on foot. Keys to navigating a roundabout are to slow down and yield.
