Montgomery County Gets $5.2M To Improve Traffic Signals Countywide

Traffic signals across Montgomery County are about to get a $5.2 million improvement.

Thirteen municipalities across the county have received grants from the Delaware Valley Regional Planning Commission to improve flow and signaling.

“Modernizing traffic signals is one of the smartest investments our region can make. These are low-cost, high impact projects that will reduce commute times, and Montgomery County citizens will see the results,” said Dr. Val Arkoosh, Chair of the Montgomery County Commissioners and DVRPC Board Member.

The projects will help remove bottlenecks and improve access to areas that have grown more popular in recent years, officials said.

“It is critically important to improve our county infrastructure to help our residents travel safely and efficiently, and these awards are another step toward completing that goal,” said Commissioner Joe Gale.

Projects include adaptive traffic signal equipment on Moreland and Easton Roads and Germantown Pike, improvements on Pottstown Pike's emergency pre-emption systems, and LED light replacements in Jenkintown, Lower Frederick, and Upper Merion.

More details on the rest of the projects will be provided as they become available.
