    This project involves modifications to the intersection of Route 309 (Bethlehem Pike) with Route 463 (Horsham Road/Cowpath Road), and 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 Route 463 approaches and the Route 309 southbound approach and a new traffic signal installation at the existing signal. The new traffic signals will be constructed utilizing monotube structures. Sidewalks will be added along Routes 309 and 463 to connect with the existing sidewalks in the area. Other improvements will include modifying the existing drainage system, replacing the existing traffic signal structures, lighting improvements at the intersection, adjusting several existing driveways to accommodate additional lanes, and upgrading the signing and pavement marking.  

    The project will be adding lanes on Route 463 both eastbound and westbound direction and a lane on Route 309 southbound. There is no widening on Doylestown Road other than to accommodate vehicles turning right to travel NB Doylestown Road. The project limits on Route 309 extend from just south of Vilsmeier Road work and extend approximately 1,500 ft. past the intersection.  On Route 463 the project limits start from North Wales Road and continue past the intersection approximately 1,150 ft. Stormwater Management Basins will be installed to control the stormwater and implement BMP facilities for erosion and sediment pollution control.
