Salisbury Township
Lehigh County, PA
🚧 New Traffic Control at the I-78/Summit Lawn Exit Ramp
You may have noticed new stop signs at intersection of the I-78 Summit Lawn exit ramp and W. Rock Road, as well as temporary signage at the entrance and exit ramps.
PennDOT recently installed the additional stop signs, creating a four-way stop at the intersection. After evaluating the location, PennDOT determined that sight distance is inadequate because of the sound barrier, and the four-way stop is intended to improve safety for motorists.
The stop signs will be uncovered and become effective on Monday. Please watch for the new traffic pattern and use extra caution as drivers adjust to the change.
In addition, PennDOT has informed the Township that ramp construction at the Summit Lawn interchange is scheduled to begin later in August. The Township will receive advance notice before work starts, and we'll share additional details with residents as soon as they become available.
Thank you for your patience!
