An Act amending Title 75 (Vehicles) of the Pennsylvania Consolidated Statutes, in State highway maintenance, providing for noise barrier construction required; and making a transfer.

HB 1274 requires the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation to build a noise barrier along the southbound side of Interstate 295 in Middletown Township, Bucks County, between New Falls Road and Trenton Road (mile markers 2.2 to 0.7). It transfers $40 million from the General Fund to a restricted account within the Motor License Fund to cover the barrier construction costs. Any unspent funds after completion must be returned to the General Fund. This bill directly affects residents near the specified I-295 section by addressing noise pollution through a targeted infrastructure project.
