Upper Providence Gets $927K To Improve Key Intersection

UPPER PROVIDENCE, PA — Upper Providence has received nearly $1 million in funding from the state to improve safety at a key township intersection.

The funding is part of a series of $49 million disbursed to similar bridge, transit, bike, and pedestrian projects statewide, Gov. Wolf's office announced Tuesday.

Upper Providence's $927,000 grant will eliminate a 50-foot offset between Jacobs Street and Walnut Street at their intersection with Bridge Street (Route 29), Wolf's office said.

"With these resources, we can improve transportation connections down to the local level and make a big difference for communities," Gov. Wolf said. "These investments reflect our commitment to all modes of transportation, both statewide and locally."

The money comes from the state's Multimodal Transportation Fund. Three other projects in Montgomery County were also awarded funding.
