PENN TWP — The project to create a safer intersection at Route 8 and Airport Road continues to move forward.
Township supervisors at their Tuesday meeting said preliminary plans for the intersection update were sent to state Department of Transportation officials, then returned with comments.
The plans will be sent for a second PennDOT review in the next few weeks, said Sam Ward, board of supervisors chairman.
The upgraded traffic signals will have many new safety features, Ward said.
