Construction

Road Construction Project Updates

Old Bethlehem Pike Bridge Replacement Project:

The Old Bethlehem Pike Bridge Replacement Project began January 5, 2026. The bridge located between 1108-1122 Old Bethlehem Pike will be removed and replaced with a new pre-cast concrete arch bridge with a textured pattern and concrete walls. In addition to the bridge replacement, the Township will be completing a streambank restoration project in this same location. Both projects are funded through state grants. 

If you have any questions, comments or special needs during the construction, please feel free to contact our contractor for this project G&B Construction: 215-919-6600 or Lower Gwynedd Township: (215) 646-5302. 

Penllyn Pike and Trewellyn Avenue/Old Penllyn Pike Traffic Signal Modernization Project

Lower Gwynedd Township was recently awarded a PA Green Light Go grant for a traffic signal modernization project at the Penllyn Pike and Trewellyn Avenue / Old Penllyn Pike intersection.  The project will replace the existing traffic signal equipment, emergency preemption system and vehicle detection systems.  In addition, the project will upgrade the existing pedestrian facilities including pedestrian signal heads with countdown display, push buttons, and ADA ramps. 

 The Township Traffic Engineer Bowman Consulting Group will be completing topographic survey work for the project design at the intersection during the month of March.  The estimated schedule for design/permitting/bidding is a minimum of 12 – 14 months, dependent on agency reviews times from PennDOT and Montgomery County.  It is anticipated the earliest construction could begin is late 2026/early 2027.  Project schedule updates will be provided on the township website during the course of the project.

Ingersoll Park Improvements

If you've been by Ingersoll Park lately, you may have noticed some exciting construction activity. Public Works has removed the old snack stand, and the Township has partnered with Gorski Construction to build a brand-new facility featuring updated concession space, a press box, and public restrooms. Construction is already underway, with concrete footings now poured for the new building. The improved facilities are expected to be ready by Spring 2026. The project is grant funded. 

New Publics Works Building

Lower Gwynedd Township is exploring the option of constructing a new public works facility in order to consolidate the existing Department of Public Works (DPW) operations from the multiple locations in which they are currently stored throughout the Township.
