114112 | Media Bypass ITS (Competitive CMAQ) (Marple Township, Media Borough, Upper Providence Township, Middletown Township, Springfield Township, Chester Heights Borough & Concord Township, Delaware County)

The purpose of this project is to help reduce congestion, improve traffic flow and reduce emissions along the Route 1 corridor by adding ITS elements to the corridor. This project proposes the following work: equipping traffic signals with communication equipment to allow for Unified Command and Control, deployment of CCTV, DMS and Travel Time Detection and the installation of fiber optic cable to expand PennDOT's existing fiber communications network. The project proposes to install 19 CCTVs, 5 DMS, 10 Travel Time Detectors, 6.5 miles of fiber optic cable along with upgrading 33 signalized intersections to allow for unified command and control. The Section of PA Route 252 within the project area will equip 6 signalized traffic signals with hardware to allow for unified command and control and construct a dedicated left-turn lane from Route 252 onto the Media Bypass.
Funding for this project will be drawn down from the Competitive CMAQ Line Item (MPMS# 48201) at the appropriate time.
The Route 252 road segment is included in the Delaware County Bicycle Plan.
