63493 | PA 309, 5-Points Intersection Improvements (71A) (Old US 202, 5-Points Intersection Improvements (71A)) (Montgomery Township, Montgomery County)

This project involves modifications to the intersection of PA 309 (Bethlehem Pike) with PA 463 (Horsham Road/Cowpath Road) and Business US 202 (Doylestown Road) in Montgomery Township, Montgomery County, Pennsylvania. Improvements to the intersection, commonly referred to as the “5-Points Intersection,” will include the installation of additional through lanes on both PA 463 approaches and the PA 309 southbound approach, and the retiming of the existing eight (8) phase traffic signal. Other improvements will include modifying the existing drainage system by installing Stormwater Management basins, implementing Best Management Practices facilities for erosion and sediment pollution control, replacing the existing traffic signal structures, adjusting several existing driveways to accommodate additional lanes, upgrading the signing and pavement markings, and adding sidewalks and ADA complaint curb ramps.
The existing intersection has fifteen (15) lanes approaching the intersection, and the proposed work has eighteen (18) lanes approaching including widening away from the intersection to accommodate lane drops and driveway improvements. The added lanes are on PA 463 eastbound and westbound and PA 309 southbound. There are no improvements on Doylestown Road other than tying in PA 463 westbound to accommodate vehicles turning right to travel northbound on Business US 202. Sidewalks and ADA complaint curb ramps will be added throughout the project.
Work along PA 309 will extend approximately 1,838 feet north of the intersection and 1,181 feet south of the intersection; work along PA 463 will extend 1,439 feet east of the intersection, and 1,336 feet west of the intersection, work along Business US 202 will extend 854 feet north of the intersection.
