The stretch between 191 and 512 lies in two townships, Hanover and Bethlehem Tp. I thought that Hanover's stretch ends at Township Line Road, but it might be a little more or less. The portion of roadway in Hanover Tp is very well maintained. The portion in Bethlehem Tp is not. The intersections at 512 and 191 are both pretty bad, thanks to tractor trailers, and those are under state control.

Isn't part of that also Lower Nazareth Township. Also.....the thousands of dollars generated by taxes on the Commercial property in the Industrial park just isn't enough to pay for maintenance and upkeep of the roads. The heavy trucks that use that road actually destroy it and also that section of route 22 and route 191. That intersection needs to be completely redone. It is like a washboard when you drive over it. It is becoming very dangerous. The road actually steers your car right and left and an unsuspecting driver could easily lose control of their car. Also, Bethlehem Township gets little of the monies generated by taxes by the Industrial park because most of it is not in their Township.<br />Tsk tsk tsk, such a vey.
