Gov. Tom Wolf announced that 27 highway, bridge, transit, and bike and pedestrian projects in 23 counties, including Bucks, were selected for $30.2 million in funding through the Multimodal Transportation Fund.
Morrisville Borough will receive $227,805 to improve the pedestrian and traffic signals at the intersection of Pennsylvania Avenue and Trenton Avenue so it is safer for the community.
“Transportation is critical to connecting communities and economies, and we are an important partner in bringing progress across the state,” said Wolf. “These investments will improve overall mobility and safety while bolstering commercial projects.”
Reflecting PennDOT’s commitment to improving locally owned infrastructure, several of the projects will also help local governments address bridges and roadways in need of repair or replacement.
“Whether we’re making roadways more accessible to all modes of travel or creating new connections for businesses investing in our communities, transportation is integral to our quality of life,” said PennDOT Secretary Yassmin Gramian. “These projects will bring long-lasting improvements across the state.”
PennDOT evaluated the applications and made selections based on such criteria as safety benefits, regional economic conditions, the technical and financial feasibility, job creation, energy efficiency and operational sustainability.
