HARRISBURG, PA — Governor Josh Shapiro announced that his administration is allocating more than $3 million in transportation improvement projects in Chester County.

The Chester County projects are included in a $49 million Multimodal Transportation funding package for 58 highway, bridge, aviation, ports, and bike and pedestrian projects in 37 counties.

"Investing in and improving our infrastructure is a commonsense way to spur economic development, create jobs, and help Pennsylvanians reach their destinations safely and efficiently," Shapiro said.

Here are the Chester County projects:

• Borough of Phoenixville – $849,775 to realign and reconstruct Mowere Road for safer vehicular travel lanes, sidewalks, and crosswalks for the Schuylkill River Trail. This project includes a new stormwater management system for Mowere Road.
