This paper is posted at ScholarlyCommons. https://repository.upenn.edu/ese_papers/758 For more information, please contact [email protected]. Report on Interstate 476 (The Blue Route) Abstract For fifty earsy Pennsylvanians have been discussing the idea of constructing a new north-south highway in the central part of Delaware County, the suburban county immediately west of the City of Philadelphia. Such a highway originally was conceived as a parkway. The notion never got very far until the mid-1950's. When the federal Interstate Highway System was conceived, a facility in central Delaware County was proposed to connect the Pennsylvania Turnpike (I-276) in Plymouth Meeting, Montgomery County, with the Delaware Expressway (I-95) in Ridley Township, Delaware County. This facility was designated I-476. As conceived, it would constitute the western part of a planned circumferential freeway network around Philadelphia. I-476 is commonly known as "the Blue Route" and also as the "Mid County Expressway." As an interstate highway project, 90% of the cost of I-476 would be covered by federal interstate highway funds allocated to the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT) by the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA).

  • Pa. Turnpike Bridge Project to Impact Traffic on Interstate 476 in Lower Salford Township
    N E W S R E L E A S E Carl DeFebo Jr., Director of Public Relations and Marketing Media Contact: Mimi Doyle Public Information Manager – East 610-239-4117 Pa. Turnpike Bridge Project to Impact Traffic on Interstate 476 in Lower Salford Township this Month Nighttime construction activities may cause delays between exits 31-44 through November. The Pennsylvania Turnpike Commission advises motorists who travel the Turnpike’s Northeastern Extension (I-476) between Lansdale (Exit #31) and Quakertown (Exit #44) that construction-related activities associated with a bridge replacement project at milepost A31.7 in Lower Salford Township, Montgomery County, are scheduled to begin the week of April 15. A contract valued at $4.2 million was awarded to Allan A. Myers, LP of Worcester, Pa., to replace the Fretz Road Bridge earlier this year. The work area extends from approximately 1.7 miles north of the Lansdale Interchange (Exit #31) in Montgomery County. The contractor anticipates the bridge will open to traffic by mid to late November. Locally, advance warning signs were posted this week alerting motorists that on April 26, Fretz Road will be closed and traffic detoured between Yoder Road and Wambold Road from May through November. Next week, detour signs will be posted along the planned route; passenger and commercial vehicles will be directed over Wambold Road, Main Street (State Route 63), Ruth Road, Clemens Road and Yoder Road to Fretz Road (approximately 2.8 miles). Local access on Fretz Road will be available to and from either direction to the bridge while the detour is in place.

  • Eddystone Borough Revitalization Study
    EDDYSTONE BOROUGH REVITALIZATION STUDY Prepared by: Delaware Valley Regional Planning Commission June 1990 EDDYSTONE BOROUGH REVITALIZATION STUDY Prepared by: Delaware Valley Regional Planning Commission The Bourse Building Twenty-One South Fifth Street Philadelphia, Pennsylvania 19106 June 1990 The Delaware Valley Regional Planning Commission (DVRPC) logo is adapted from the official seal of the Commission and is designed as a stylized image of the Delaware Valley. The outer ring symbolizes the region as a whole while the diagonal bar signifies the Delaware River flowing through it. The two adjoining crescents represent the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania and the State of New Jersey. The logo combines these elements to depict the areas served by DVRPC. Created in 1965, DVRPC provides continuing, comprehensive and coordinated planning for the orderly growth and development of the Delaware Valley region. The interstate region includes Bucks, Chester, Delaware and Montgomery counties in Pennsylvania, and the City of Philadelphia; and Burlington, Camden, Gloucester, and Mercer counties in New Jersey. The Commission is an advisory agency which divides its planning and service functions between the Office of the Executive Director, the Office of Public Affairs, and four Divisions: Transportation Planning, Strategic Planning, Regional Information Services Center, and Finance and Administration. DVRPC's mission for the 1980s is to conduct high priority short term strategic studies for member governments and operating agencies, develop a long range comprehensive plan and provide technical assistance, data and services to the public and private sector. The preparation of this report was funded through federal grants from the U.S. Department of Transportation's Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) and Urban Mass Transportation Administration (UMTA), as well as by DVRPC's member governments.

Scout motto: Be prepared * Proper attire for the weather * hiking boots and warm socks are essential! OVERVIEW DEVON 50 HISTORY BSA Troop Devon 50, a Pennsylvania Troop from Devon, PA was chartered in 1927. They built a log cabin on a plot of land – now Camp Jarvis – in the early 1900’s that they rent out to visiting Troops throughout the year. It has been a long- standing tradition for Troop 189 to camp in the cabin every year in early winter. Much scouting history from the Valley Forge area is on the walls of their cabin. The cabin features a wood-burning stove for heat in the main cabin and a kitchenette to prep meals. There is electricity in the cabin and in the past we have brought a projector and laptop for a Saturday evening movie after dinner. There will be two hikes supported on Saturday. The first and second year Scouts attending Devon 50 will hike the historical Valley Forge National Park Trail.
