State grants of more than $51 million were announced this week from the Multimodal Transportation Fund to support 66 crucial transportation projects across 32 counties in Pennsylvania. The funding will be allocated towards highway, bridge, aviation, ports, and bike and pedestrian initiatives, according to a press release from the office of Governor Josh Shapiro.
The Multimodal Transportation Fund provides financial assistance to municipalities, councils of governments, businesses, economic development organizations, public transportation agencies, and ports and rail freight entities. By improving transportation assets, this program seeks to enhance communities, pedestrian safety, and transit revitalization.
“Investing in and improving our infrastructure is a common sense way to spur economic development, create jobs, and help Pennsylvanians reach their destinations safely and efficiently. These improvements will help our communities grow as we continue working together to move Pennsylvania forward,” said Shapiro in a statement.
Funding recipients in Montgomery County include:
Hatboro Borough: $597,719 for the replacement of the West Monument Bridge.
Upper Hanover Township: $1,977,846 for replacement of the St. Paul’s Church Road Bridge over Macoby Creek.
