    PennDOT plans to advance a project to improve operations at the U.S. 1 (Media Bypass) interchange with Route 252 (Providence Road) and to install Intelligent Transportation System (ITS) devices and associated fiber-optic and electrical infrastructure along U.S. 1 (State Road/Media Bypass/Baltimore Pike). The proposed ITS system improvements extend approximately 10 miles along U.S. 1 from Schoolhouse Lane (Concord Township) to just west of Weymouth Road (Springfield Township). The project is located in the Boroughs of Chester Heights and Media, and the Townships of Concord, Marple, Middletown, Springfield, and Upper Providence in Delaware County.

    Intersection improvements at the Route 252/U.S. 1 interchange will include removing the raised concrete median to add a designated left-turn lane from Route 252 to U.S. 1. This will also include lane restriping, one new mast arm with new signal heads, and signal adjustments.

    The proposed ITS deployment includes:

    • 14 CCTV (Closed-Circuit TV) cameras.
    • 4 Changeable Messaging Signs (CMS).
    • Underground fiber optic line.
