Media bypass its

The Pennsylvania Department of Transportation was awarded a $135,000 Formula Grant from the Federal Highway Administration under the Highway Planning and Construction program (CFDA 20.205). The grant will fund the Media Bypass ITS Corridor Delaware County ITS Integration Project to help reduce congestion and improve traffic flow along Route 1 in Pennsylvania. Specifically, the project will equip 33 signalized intersections with communication equipment to allow for unified command and control of traffic signals. It will also deploy closed-circuit television cameras, dynamic message signs, and travel time detection equipment. The project involves installing 19 CCTVs, 5 DMS, and 10 travel time detectors. Additionally, it will expand the Pennsylvania DOT's existing fiber communications network by installing 6.5 miles of fiber optic cable. A section of Route 252 will also have 6 signalized intersections equipped for unified command and control and a dedicated left turn lane constructed.
