Bristol Twp Gets $256K Intersection Improvement Project Grant

Bristol Township has received more than $256,000 for an intersection improvement project.

The $256,603 state grant will be used to upgrade the traffic signal at the intersection of South Oxford Valley Road and Queen Anne Drive by improving traffic signal supports, installing LED modules, improving pedestrian facilities, and upgrading controller and detection systems, PennDOT announced Monday.

The grant is part of $11.5 million in Automated Red Light Enforcement funding being distributed to 35 municipalities statewide to fund 41 safety projects, Penn DOT said.

“This program helps communities across the state make investments in traffic flow and safety,” Governor Wolf said. “These improvements complement the many road, bridge, and multimodal projects happening in Pennsylvania.”

Projects approved for grant funding must improve safety, enhance mobility and reduce congestion, PennDOT said. Municipalities submitted more than 143 applications, totaling over $34 million in requests.

Projects were selected by an eight-member committee based on criteria such as benefits and effectiveness, cost, local and regional impact, and cost sharing, according to information from PennDOT.
