The funding will be used for modernizing traffic signals at the intersection of Lincoln Highway and the Interstate 95 southbound ramps A/B-1 and the Lincoln Highway and Interstate 95 northbound ramps C/D-1.

"This funding will be a huge help toward Middletown Township's goal of improving safety around Lincoln Highway," Hogan said. "These modernizations will ensure our roads are safer for drivers and residents across this portion of Middletown Township and lessen traffic issues on this portion of Lincoln Highway."

Farry said the upgrades would reduce congestion and improve the flow of traffic at the busy intersection.

Green Light-Go grants are provided as reimbursements to municipalities for projects that improve the efficiency and operation of existing traffic signals.

The projects are funded through the FY 2026–27 budget.

Eligible improvements include, but are not limited to, installation of light-emitting diode (LED) technology, traffic signal retiming, special-event traffic planning, traffic signal monitoring and upgrades to modern signal technologies.
