16438 | PA 309, Connector Project - Phase I (Franconia Township, Towamencin Township & Lower Salford Township, Montgomery County)

Final Design funding in this project is for Phase 3 of the PA 309 Connector Project: Souderton Pike to PA 309 - MPMS #105803. This is for record keeping and the original timing of MPMS #16438 has not changed, as the physical work was completed in late 2012. See MPMS #77211 for description of project.
The overall effort is to provide an adequate two lane roadway connection by upgrading two existing two lane roads (Wambold Rd. and Township Line Rd.) and connecting them with a two lane roadway approximately one mile in length. This project will correct the disjointed and inadequate road system serving the north/south movement between PA 309 and the PA Turnpike Lansdale Interchange. This project will proceed in 2 phases.
The Right-Sized Phase 1 Project includes the proposed realignment of Sumneytown Pike (PA 63) from Old Forty Foot Road to Freed Road and improvements to Wambold Road from Sumneytown Pike (PA 63) to Allentown Road. The proposed work includes a three lane relocation of PA 63 with shoulders (11’ lanes and 8’ shoulders) on Wambold Road and a two lane runaround around Mainland Village.
Phase 2 will include the following improvements:
- Extend Wambold Road past its current end at Allentown Road up to the intersection of Cowpath Road and Township Line Road;
- Reconstruct and widen Township Line Road from Cowpath Road to Souderton Pike;
- Realign and signalize the intersection of Penn Street and Township Line Road;
- Signalize the intersection of Township Line Road and Souderton Pike.
Phase 3 will reconstruct and widen Township Line Road between Souderton Pike and the Sellersville Bypass, make a physical connection to PA 309, and is listed under MPMS #105803.
