In the second four-year portion, there were five projects, the most significant of which was
the replacement of the Marsh Creek Bridge on Business Route 15. In the third four-year
period the most sigmficant project was the replacement of the PA Route 234 bridge over
Conewago Creek.
It should also be noted that in 1987 traffic flows within the Borough of Gettysburg were
studied as part of the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation's ECONS program.
(ECONS, an acronym for Energy =sewation and Safety, has recently been replaced by
the Department's Safety &d Mobility Initiative (SAMI) program.) The study recommended
a $712,000 program of traffic signal modernization and coordination on Business Route 15,
PA Route 34, US Route 30, and PA Route 116, at eleven traffic signals within the borough.
The project has not been placed on the 12-Year Program for implementation.
The Pennsylvania Department of Transportation recently announced that it will undertake
major planning studies for the US Route 30 corridor between Chambersburg in Franklin
County and Thomasville, just west of York in York County, during 1992.
