Phoenixville Gets $900K To Improve Bridge, Starr Streets

PHOENIXVILLE, PA — Phoenixville borough will receive a massive $900,000 investment in its infrastructure from the state, funds that will help improve Bridge and Starr streets, officials announced.

The money comes from the state's Multimodal Transportation Funds. Awards are granted following a competitive process between municipalities across the state.

"I’m thrilled to announce that we are continuing to invest in infrastructure projects in Chester County," State Rep. Paul Friel (D-Chester). "This funding will address some key safety, traffic flow and public transportation needs in Phoenixville benefiting the whole community."

The project will help with the extension of Star Street North, providing an additional exit for Ashland Street.

It will also help improve SEPTA access in the area.

“This infusion of state funding is a wise use of our resources, helping to keep costs down for local taxpayers while improving the quality of life for those who live, work and travel in Phoenixville," Friel added.

Phoenixville's grant is one of 66 projects that were funded across the state as part of this year's $51 million program.
