    The Church Road Intersection Improvement project was advertised for construction on January 26, 2024. The project was completed on February 29, 2024. Construction is anticipated to begin in the spring of 2024. Utility work will occur throughout the majority of 2024 into 2025 and will be completed under a temporary traffic detour. Roadway construction will begin in 2025 and is anticipated to be completed in 2026, utilizing one-way traffic detours. A copy of the slides that were presented during a Cheltenham Township Public Works Meeting on February 7, 2024, is included at the “Project Presentation 2/7/2024” link in the Resources section of the project webpage.

    This project is located in Cheltenham Township, Montgomery County, and involves improvements to improve traffic flow and safety on Route 73 (Church Road) at its intersections with Greenwood Avenue and Rices Mill Road. Proposed project improvements include roadway widening to support left turn lanes along Church Road at the intersection of Greenwood Avenue. 

    The horizontal curvature along Church Road will also be made less severe to improve visibility and sight distance near the intersection. Coordination with Cheltenham Township has added a sidewalk to the project to provide pedestrian access from the adjacent homes and from Wyncote Elementary School to Curtis Arboretum. Additional project improvements include traffic signal replacements, ADA ramps, and new pedestrian crosswalks, the installation of a new drainage pipe and stormwater management system, the replanting of trees within Curtis Arboretum, and the reconstruction of stone walls which will be impacted by the project.
