The Philadelphia Inquirer on Sunday reported Chinese investors are signing up to give $500,000 each to help fund the massive Pennsylvania Turnpike and I-95 connector project.

The multi-phase project will add a connection point between the two roadways in Bristol Township. For decades, drivers have had to take local roads to get between I-95 and the Turnpike, which both have exits located several miles apart in Bristol Township.
