The intersection of Mill and Radcliffe streets in Bristol Borough welcomed pedestrians and vehicles once again on Tuesday morning.

Mayor Ralph DiGuiseppe III announced the reopening at Monday evening’s council meeting.
The Tuesday reopening followed a closure that began in mid-March.
The closure was due to a project aimed at enhancing pedestrian safety and was made possible through $406,021 in state grants.

The improvements include the construction of curbed bump-outs and the installation of ADA-compliant curb ramps at the intersection, designed to make it safer and more accessible for all residents.
“That intersection is absolutely gorgeous,” DiGuiseppe said. “It is definitely much safer and I think everyone is going to be impressed when they see that intersection.”

While the main components of the project are completed, a few finishing touches, including street lighting, are still to be completed, the mayor said.
On Facebook, the borough posted this: “This endeavor promises to enhance safety while beautifying this entire intersection at Mill and Radcliffe streets, benefiting pedestrians and visitors strolling Mill Street or walking to our stunning waterfront park. We extend our sincere gratitude to State Senator Steve Santarsiero and State Representative Tina Davis for securing state grants that fully funded the project without utilizing any Bristol Borough funds. A thank you also goes out to the residents and businesses of Mill Street for their patience during the completion of this project.”
