Middletown nixes long-discussed loop road

Middletown Township Council voted to not move forward with a long-proposed loop road project in Lima at the intersection of Baltimore Pike and South Pennell Road. The plan has been under discussion since as early as 2018. In 2023, the township acquired three properties at a cost of approximately $1 million. Costs of the project in 2022 were estimated at approximately $4 million, supported by a $2 million state multimodal grant awarded. Recently a nearby community association voiced opposition to the construction of the loop road. The project is independent of PennDOT’s planned improvements for that area of Baltimore Pike. Those improvements include widening the road and adding turn lanes, and would effectively make the proposed loop road obsolete, according to critics of the project.
