Erdman Anthony is providing engineering design services for various improvements on PA 921 in Conewago and East Manchester Township, York County. The project is a cooperative effort among the municipalities, PennDOT, York County, and multiple business entities. It involves roadway improvements to more than 2 miles of state-owned roadways to support the addition of over 3 million square feet of warehouse development. To accommodate varying developer occupancy and the unique cost-sharing arrangement for the project, multiple bid packages are being prepared.
One section of the project has been advanced through construction. Its key features include:
• Reconstruction/realignment of over 1 mile of Canal Road and Locust Point Road • Added turn lanes, shoulders, and a new drainage collection system • Added traffic signals and improved sight distance at the Canal Road/Locust Point intersection • Added infiltration trenches and other stormwater management features
The improvements will accommodate the additional traffic, most notably the significant increase in truck traffic, associated with the commercial development along this section of the Interstate 83 corridor.
