Route 191 at Newburg Road and Route 946
The Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT), announces a Plans Display for a project on State Route 191 (Nazareth Pike) in Lower Nazareth Township, Northampton County.
This online plans display includes a digital project plan and a comment form available to the public until May 7, 2024.
The purpose of the project is to make proposed improvements to the four-leg signalized intersection of State Route 191 (Nazareth Pike) and State Route 3020 (Newburg Road) and the separate stop-controlled Y-intersection of State Route 946 (Daniels Road) at Route 191 (Nazareth Pike), located approximately 500' to the north. The proposed design includes the following features:
Route 191 (Nazareth Pike)/Newburg Road Intersection
- A left-turn lane will be added to each approach to the intersection. Protected left-turn (green arrow) phasing will be provided on Nazareth Pike.
- The widening will ensure there is plenty of space for tractor-trailers to make all turns.
- The existing traffic signal poles and equipment will be replaced.
- The existing guide rail will be replaced on the Nazareth Pike northbound approach.
- To minimize right-of-way impacts to adjacent properties, a single-face concrete barrier will be placed on the Newburg Road westbound approach to Nazareth Pike.
Route 191 (Nazareth Pike)/Route 946 (Daniels Road) Intersection
- Daniels Road will be realigned with Nazareth Pike to create a T-intersection.
- A left-turn lane will be added to Nazareth Pike northbound to provide a protected lane for motorists waiting to turn left on Daniels Road.
- A left-turn lane will also be added southbound for motorists destined for the Urgent Care building.
Nazareth Pike
- The roadway will be widened between the intersections to accommodate left-turn lanes.
- The project will also include drainage modifications and stormwater management, as needed.
- All signs and pavement markings within the project limits will be replaced.
It is anticipated that construction will be begin in 2026 with an anticipated completion in 2027. All schedules are subject to change.
