How will the project address safety within the project corridor?

First and foremost, the project addresses safety by closing the intermediate access crossovers between the frontage roads and U.S. 1. These locations are known to have a high crash frequency.
Secondly, the project replaces the concrete separator islands with proposed 12-foot to 14-foot-wide paved shoulders and concrete median barriers. These improvements provide safe pull-off areas for disabled vehicles as well as keep errant vehicles on U.S. 1.
Thirdly, the project replaces the remaining three overpasses on U.S. 1 between I-295 and the I-276 (PA Turnpike) that have deficient vertical clearance, which reduces the likelihood of vehicles striking the overpasses.
Predictive safety analysis of the above-mentioned improvements indicates that less crashes are expected in this build scenario versus the no build scenario along U.S. 1 and the service roads. This reduction can be attributed to the removal of the service roads and the associated intermediate crossovers. Additionally, crashes on the overall local road network are expected to remain essentially the same, with a minimal reduction in the build scenario that can be attributed to the installation of the proposed roundabouts and mini-roundabout.
