An outdoor advertising company plans to remove seven existing billboards and replace them with one digital display.

Interstate Outdoor Advertising, of Cherry Hill, New Jersey, was granted variances by the Bristol Township Zoning Hearing Board earlier this month related to size and other issues to update its billboards along Route 13 in the township.
The company plans to tear down the existing 50- to 60-year-old billboards along the roadway and the Amtrak Northeast Corridor tracks and put up one two-sided digital billboard.
Representatives for the company said digital billboard will be about 220 square feet. It will also stand 25 feet above ground level, slightly higher than the existing billboard height.

Jeff Gerber, of Interstate Outdoor Advertising, said the existing billboards that will be taken down are decades old and the company has trouble gaining access to them at times.
The billboards that will be torn down sit between Route 13 and Franklin Avenue in the Croydon section.

Interstate Outdoor Advertising will still have to file for a permit from PennDOT.
For the project to move forward, Interstate Outdoor Advertising will have to come before Bristol Township Council and also obtain conditional use.
