King of Prussia, PA – The Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT) invites the public to attend a virtual meeting on Thursday, April 27, for the proposed project to improve travel and safety on Route 73 (Church Road) at its intersections with Greenwood Avenue and Rices Mill Road in Cheltenham Township, Montgomery County.

Improvements under this proposed project include roadway widening to support left turn lanes along Route 73 (Church Road) at the intersection of Greenwood Avenue; reconstructing Route 73 (Church Road) to improve visibility and sight distance; replacing traffic signals and ADA curb ramps; constructing new sidewalk for adjacent homes and from Wyncote Elementary School to Curtis Arboretum; installing new pedestrian crosswalks; upgrading drainage and the stormwater management system; replanting trees within Curtis Arboretum; and reconstructing existing stone walls.
