    Local Name: Lititz Pike between Belmont Avenue and Golf Drive
    Project Type: Intersection Safety Improvements

    The Lititz Pike (Route 0501) Safety Improvements Project is located in Manheim Township, Lancaster County, along Lititz Pike between Belmont Avenue and Golf Drive.

    The purpose of this project is to improve safety at selected intersections along the corridor where crash history and studies have identified safety concerns. Recent crash data indicate a pattern of rear-end and angle crashes associated with operational issues and limited sight distance at several locations.

    The project includes sight distance improvements through selective tree and vegetation trimming and removal, minor grading, signing upgrades, pavement marking improvements, and targeted intersection safety improvements at Sunset Place, Roseville Road, and Hess Boulevard–Murry Hill Drive. The project also includes removal of an existing wall and reconstruction of an embankment near the Hess Boulevard–Murry Hill Drive intersection.

    No roadway widening, lane additions, or major changes to the existing roadway cross-section are proposed. Construction is anticipated to occur during the 2028 construction season. Traffic impacts are expected to be limited to temporary lane restrictions and short-duration traffic control measures, with access maintained to adjacent properties, businesses, community facilities, and transit services.

    The purpose of this plans display is to introduce the project and solicit public input, questions, or concerns regarding the proposed improvements.
