Officials in Upper & Lower Macungie Townships are looking to alleviate traffic problems in order to prevent more build ups and back ups in the future.
First a traffic study was conducted by local engineers.
Now, officials have pinpointed 6 projects that they say could help alleviate some of the congestion.
Most of the recommendations focus around the areas of I-78 and Route 222.
"It's a major problem in this area, we have a lot of major roads, a lot of industry, a lot of warehouses," said Upper Macungie Town Supervisor Dan Olpere.
The projects include: Route 222 & I-78 interchange, I-78 Eastbound lane widening, I-78 and Adams Road interchange, Route 222 & Grim Road/Cetronia Road intersection, Route 222 & Mill Creek Road/Grange Road intersection, Rand Route 222 & Breinigsville Road.
Officials said the changes will help prevent even more problems in the future.
"You won't be able to move, especially during rush hour," said Olpere. "It will back up worse than it is today if there aren't significant improvements."
The six proposed projects will be brought to the County Planning Board on January 26.
The group will then decide which of the projects should be submitted to PENNDOT for funding consideration.
