'Heavily Traveled' Rockledge Roads Getting Repaired

ROCKLEDGE BOROUGH, PA — The borough has been awarded a $77,189 grant through PennDOT’s Multimodal Transportation Fund, State Rep. Ben Sanchez has announced.

The grant will support the repaving of two heavily traveled borough streets.

The project will repave Loney Street from Thompson to the dead end and Burke Street from Thompson to South Central, two streets identified as being among the borough’s most pressing roadway needs.

The project was developed in consultation with Rockledge Borough’s Department of Public Works and borough engineer.

The grant is part of a statewide investment announced by Gov. Josh Shapiro, which includes $54 million for 50 highway, bridge, aviation, port, bicycle and pedestrian projects across 27 Pennsylvania counties.

“Safe, well-maintained roads are essential to our communities,” Sanchez said. “This investment will help Rockledge Borough address infrastructure needs on streets that residents use every day. I’m pleased to support this funding and help bring state resources back to our local communities.”

The funding comes through PennDOT’s Multimodal Transportation Fund, which provides grants for priority transportation investments across Pennsylvania.

The program is designed to help municipalities and other eligible entities improve transportation assets, enhance communities and pedestrian safety, and support transit revitalization.
