Bristol Twp Gets $500K From State For Traffic Signal Upgrades

Bristol Township has received nearly half a million dollars from the state to modernize two traffic signals, the state announced this week.

The funding of $497,621 will modernize traffic signals at New Falls Road/Woodbourne/Edgely/Emilie and Edgely/Mill Creek roads. The project is one of four in Bucks County and one of 70 across Pennsylvania that was approved Thursday by the state.

Nearby, Bensalem received $740,000 to install an adaptive traffic signal system at 12 intersections along Bristol Pike.

“This is the fourth round of funding disbursed to support increased safety and mobility across more Pennsylvania towns,” Gov. Wolf said in a statement.

Funded through the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation's "Green Light-Go" program, grants are provided as reimbursement to municipalities for updates to improve the efficiency and operation of existing traffic signals.

Grant funding through the Green Light – Go Program may be utilized for a range of operational improvements including LED technology, traffic signal retiming, and related issues.
