Traffic Signal Upgrade to Proceed at Route 663 and Geryville Pike

 

Traffic signal and intersection improvements at the Route 663 and Geryville Pike traffic signal are set to start on Wednesday, April 4, 2012. There will not be any detours as the roads will stay open to traffic at all times with some lane limitations and possible delays.

 

T.H. Properties will fund the signal improvements in full as part of the Northgate Subdivision required improvements. Lehigh Valley Site Contractors, Inc., a member of the HK Group, will complete the work. Intersection improvements will include roadway widening with turning lanes in each of the four directions, including a signal head turning arrow heading south on Route 663. Subject to weather conditions, the project is expected to be completed within 30 to 45 days.

Fruitville Road Bridge Closing

 

Montgomery County will permanently close the county-owned Fruitville Road Bridge to all traffic effective Friday, March 16, 2012. The decision to close the bridge was based upon an in-depth inspection conducted by Pennsylvania Department of Transportation consultants and Montgomery County representatives. All traffic that uses the bridge will be guided around the closed bridge by a signed detour maintained by Montgomery County. The bridge will remain closed to all vehicle traffic, but will be open for pedestrians.

 

The Fruitville Road Bridge was built in 1905 and has served the area for 107 years. The replacement bridge is progressing through the design process with anticipated construction in 2017. Information regarding the replacement bridge can be obtained by contacting the Montgomery County Department of Roads and Bridges at 610-278-3612.

AMBULANCE MEMBERSHPS:  AN INVESTMENT IN YOUR SAFETY

 

            The Upper Hanover Township Board of Supervisors encourages all residents to purchase annual memberships in the Upper Perkiomen Valley Ambulance Association.  Your individual or family membership will help cover expenses in the event that you need emergency medical services or transportation to the hospital.

 

            A membership protects you from incurring expenses that your insurance doesn’t pay.  For example, if your insurance coverage sets a minimum or maximum for ambulance/paramedic services, your membership in the Ambulance Association would cover services not paid by the insurance company.  If your insurance company does not cover ambulance/paramedic services, then your membership would cover those expenses (within guidelines).

 

            For more information, call UPVAA at 215-679-5989.

FIRE COMPANIES SEEK VOLUNTEERS

 

            Four volunteer fire companies – the East Greenville Fire Company, the Pennsburg Fire Company, the Red Hill Fire Company and the Goodwill Fire Company – protect people and property in Upper Hanover Township.

 

            If the Township had to foot the bill for providing paid fire protection services, taxes would increase astronomically.  As it is, the .2-mill tax for providing equipment to the fire companies represents just a fraction of what the departments need to operate.

 

            This is where you come in.  While the departments need trained firefighters, they also need volunteers on other areas as well.  You can help in a variety of ways that do not include fighting fires.

 

            For more information call the individual stations to see how you can help:  East Greenville (215-679-5342); Pennsburg (215-679-8293); Red Hill (215-679-8051); and Goodwill (610-845-2501).
