Roadway Improvements

ELA Group Transportation Engineers designed the Highlands Drive Extension in Lititz, PA, to reduce traffic congestion on Lititz Pike (SR 501). The project, located within the urban growth boundary of both Lititz Borough and Warwick Township, was demonstrated as necessary by traffic delays at multiple access points on the SR 501 corridor.

The project scope was to construct approximately 1500 feet of new road to complete the connection between residential communities, commercial districts, and health and human services locations. The roadway has 11-foot lanes, 3-foot shoulders, and a 6-foot pedestrian/bike path separate from it. Stormwater facilities and a detention basin were also constructed. The project was 100% state-funded for construction.
