PennDOT is planning to replace the Route 202 and York Road intersection with a roundabout to reduce congestion and the number and severity of crashes at the intersection.

Additionally, the project is designed to improve the operations of the intersection, emergency vehicle access and mobility, and the absence of pedestrian access within the area of the intersection.

The proposed project includes improvements to two intersections on U.S. 202 in Buckingham.

The proposed work at the Route 202 and York Road intersection includes:

• Reconstructing and converting the existing T-intersection into a roundabout.
• Installing intersection lighting.
• Constructing stormwater management facilities.
• Constructing sidewalks, multi-use trails, and ADA crossings.

The proposed work at the U.S. 202 and Route 413 intersection includes:

• Constructing right-turn lanes on U.S. 202.
• Improving alignment of left-turn lanes on all approaches.
• Adjusting traffic signal displays to align with new lane configuration.
• Replacing guide rail in northwest and southeast quadrants.
