As a result of an extensive analysis of travel conditions in the study area, the following four Project Needs were identified:

• The Byberry Road Bridge Over the CSX– Trenton Line Tracks is Structurally Deficient
  
  A structurally Sound bridge over the CSX – Trenton Line tracks must be provided, even in the No Build Alternative.
  
  
• Vehicular Congestion and Delay Impedes Travel in the Project Area
  
  Transportation improvements must reduce vehicular congestion and delay.
  
  
• Traffic and Pedestrian Safety
  
  Transportation improvements must improve conditions that affect traffic and pedestrian safety.
  
  
• Traffic Collection and Distribution is Inefficient
  
  Transportation improvements must improve traffic flow through the local roadway system.
  

A number of alternatives were evaluated for feasibility, sensitivity to the natural and social environment, and for their effectiveness in satisfying the Project Needs. Click on the buttons to the left to read more about how each proposed alternative addresses the Project Needs.
