Lower Moreland Gets $1.2 Million To Widen Road, Handle Traffic

LOWER MORELAND, PA — Lower Moreland has received $1.2 million in funding to improve roadways in the township.

It's part of $44.5 million in state grants funding transportation-related projects across the state.

Specifically, the money will replace a structurally deficient bridge and expand the roadway on Red Lion to accomodate growing traffic.

"Transportation is critical to connecting communities and economies, and we are an important partner in bringing progress across the state," Gov. Wolf said in a statement announcing the funding. "These investments will improve overall mobility and safety while bolstering commercial projects."

The money comes from the state's Multimodal Transportation Fund.

Applications were made from around the state, and winners were selected based on a wide variety of criteria, including safety benefits, economic conditions, technical and financial feasibility, job creation, energy efficiency, and sustainability.
