110971 | Main Street Safety Improvements (West Norriton Township, Montgomery County)

The project will implement a 4-lane partial “road diet” configuration along Main Street (SR 3009) between Egypt Road (SR 4002) and Forest Avenue/West Airy Street. The existing four-lane undivided roadway will maintain two (2) through lanes in the westbound direction, one (1) lane eastbound, and a shared left-turn lane throughout the project limits with dedicated turn lanes at the signalized intersections. In addition to the improvements along Main Street, the intersection of Main Street & Egypt Road/Jefferson Avenue/Orchard Lane will be reconstructed as a 5-leg “hybrid roundabout”. The “hybrid roundabout” will include a 2-lane exit for Main Street and a single lane exit for Egypt Road. Temporary and permanent right-of-way acquisitions will be required in the area of the “hybrid roundabout”. The existing traffic signals at Schuylkill Avenue, Whitehall Road, and Forrest Avenue/West Airy Street will be modified, as necessary. The ADA and pedestrian facilities along the corridor will be evaluated and updated, as necessary, to meet current ADA standards.
