The Federal Highway Administration awarded the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation $313,290 on January 6, 2026, under the Highway Safety Improvement Program (HSIP, CFDA 20.272) to fund a full traffic signal rebuild and pedestrian safety improvements at the intersection of SR 62 and Elk Street in downtown Franklin, Pennsylvania, with ultimate completion scheduled for November 25, 2029.

The project addresses vulnerable road users through LED countdown pedestrian signal heads, accessible pedestrian signals, recessed pavement markings for crosswalks, pedestrian-related signage, and pedestrian signal poles. The award also funds a signalized mid-block crossing dedicated to pedestrians, supporting Franklin's multimodal transportation priorities. The work is performed in Pennsylvania.
