Finding [29 Pa.B. 1954] Lehigh County Pursuant to the provisions of 71 P. S. Section 2002(b), the Secretary of Transportation makes the following written finding:
The Department of Transportation plans to relocate State Route 0222, Section 000 in Lehigh County.
The project consists of the relocation of US 222 from Breinigsville to the existing interchange of I-78 with US 222, a relocation of PA 100 to the West of Trexlertown from south of the existing PA 100/Spring Creek Road intersection to west of the existing US 222/Weilers Road intersection and a widening of existing PA 100 from north of the existing US 222/PA 100 intersection to the existing PA 100/Schantz Road intersection. Relocated US 222 is designed as a four (4) lane limited access highway with a grass median. Relocated PA 100 between Spring Creek Road and existing US 222 is designed as a two (2) lane limited access highway, with right-of-way reserved for four (4) lanes in the future. PA 100 north of Trexlertown would be widened to four (4) lanes with a concrete median barrier. At-grade intersections would be constructed at relocated Krocks Road and relocated Cederbrook Road. Other local roadway connections are a directional interchange at existing US 222 at the western terminus, a full diamond interchange at PA 100, and a directional exit ramp at Brookside Road.
No adverse environmental effect is likely to result from the reconstruction of this section of highway.
