PennDOT announced that eight-months’ worth of safety improvements along a 1.9-mile section of Bethlehem Pike in Springfield and Whitemarsh townships are now complete.

This project began in March 2024 as crews converted a section of Bethlehem Pike from an undivided four-lane section to a three-lane section with a two-way left turn lane; modify left-turn signal phasing; coordinate arterial signals; install pedestrian countdown timers at select locations; add retroreflective backplates to improve signal visibility; and mill and overlay pavement along the corridor.

The project aims to enhance the movement of vehicles, pedestrians, and bicyclists and reduce angle and rear-end crashes along the corridor.

The Bethlehem Pike intersections included in the project are Flourtown Shopping Center Driveway, Mill Road, College Avenue, Bysher Avenue, Wissahickon Avenue, Haws Lane, Montgomery Avenue, Sunnybrook Road, and Hillcrest Road.
