First step taken toward new light at Route 8 and Airport Road
PENN TWP — The wheels are in motion for a new light and intersection upgrade at Route 8 and Airport Road.
Township supervisors Tuesday approved advertising for bids for engineering firms to design a safer intersection.
The intersection has been the site of several traffic accidents — some involving fatalities or serious injuries.
Linda Zerfoss, township manager, announced the township did not receive the Southwest Pennsylvania Commission grant she applied for to pay an engineering firm to redesign the intersection.
Sam Ward, supervisors chairman, said the township will pay for the design of the intersection once bids come in and an engineering firm is approved.
