The $645,118 investment to reconstruct a section of Route 41 (Pennsylvania Avenue) is one of six additional transportation improvement projects planned along the corridor under the Shapiro Administration.

Applications for the next Multimodal Transportation Fund round are being accepted until October 30.

Since Governor Shapiro took office, $197 million has been invested in local communities through the Multimodal Transportation Fund.

Avondale, PA – Today, Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT) Secretary Mike Carroll joined local and state officials to highlight a $645,118 investment through the Multimodal Transportation Fund (MTF) to reconstruct a section of Route 41 (Pennsylvania Avenue) in Avondale Borough, Chester County.

The project is one of 50 that Governor Josh Shapiro announced as the latest round of MTF grant awards, investing nearly $54 million in infrastructure projects across Pennsylvania. Since taking office, Governor Shapiro and his administration have invested over $197 million through the MTF to support transportation projects that improve safety, connect communities, and grow local economies across Pennsylvania.

“These multimodal transportation investments reflect the Shapiro Administration’s firm commitment to partnering with communities like Avondale Borough to improve roads and strengthen critical transportation corridors across the Commonwealth,” Carroll said. “We applaud the Borough’s continued efforts, enthusiasm, and dedication to making meaningful improvements for its residents and business owners.”

Through the project, road improvements will be made to Route 41 (Pennsylvania Avenue), including full depth pavement reconstruction, paving, and installing new ADA curb ramps and drainage upgrades.

“Avondale’s determination to pursue this multimodal funding by the Shapiro Administration is a great example of how local leadership, planning, and follow-through can deliver important infrastructure improvements for our communities,” said PennDOT District 6 Executive Din Abazi.

This latest MTF grant is one of six projects that PennDOT is advancing to improve travel and safety along the Route 41 Corridor in Chester County. 

• Route 41 (Gap Newport Pike) and Route 841 (London Grove Road) Intersection Improvements Project
• Route 41 (Gap Newport Pike) and U.S. 1 (Kennett Oxford Bypass) Interchange Improvements Project
• Route 41 (Pennsylvania Avenue), 1st Street and West State Street Intersection Improvements Project
• Route 41 (Pennsylvania Avenue) over East Branch of White Clay Creek Bridge Replacement Project

An additional project to repair and resurface a 13-mile section of Route 41 (Gap Newport Pike/Pennsylvania Avenue) in Chester County is expected to begin construction in 2027.

“We are grateful to the Shapiro Administration and PennDOT for their partnership and support in making these important improvements to Pennsylvania Avenue. This investment will improve safety, accessibility, and the quality of life for our residents and businesses,” said Mayor of Avondale Borough Susan Rzucidlo.

The MTF provides grant funding to municipalities, councils of governments, businesses, economic development organizations, public transportation agencies, and ports and rail freight entities to improve transportation assets that enhance communities, pedestrian safety, and transit access.
