Township Road Extension and Roundabout

Project Summary

This project involves a realignment of Township Road southbound to intersect at Second Street Pike and Bustleton Pike.  It includes the construction of a Roundabout at the intersection, and the relocation of a new public parking area to replace a portion of the public parking lot located behind the Rescue Squad building.  A portion of the existing parking lot will be used for the new alignment of Township Road.

The Township completed preliminary engineering design in 2022 and received a State Highway Occupancy Permit following acquisition of all rights-of-way needed for construction.  The total cost for this engineering design phase was $580,000, which was partially funded by $425,000 in grants.  PennDOT will complete the final engineering design and construction with no further financial obligation by the Township.  The estimated bid date for this project is January 2026, and the estimated project cost is $6 Million. 

PennDOT recently advised that Federal Government regulations require the Department to acquire all necessary rights-of-way for project construction.  This will require the Township to rescind its condemnation actions in 2022 and the Township will no longer need to pay just compensation for the additional right-of-way.
