Newly awarded state funding will support an intersection expansion and creation of a new access road at the Patton Crossing mixed-use development site along North Atherton Street.
The Commonwealth Financing Authority on Wednesday awarded $1.54 million to expand the intersection at North Atherton and Woodycrest streets, state Sen. Jake Corman, R-Benner Township, said in a statement on Wednesday.
The project will create a four-way intersection, with a new six-lane access road into Patton Crossing opposite of Woodycrest Street. Work also will include replacing traffic signals, adding sidewalks creating and lengthening turning lanes and other improvements to reduce congestion and improve traffic flow.
