After decades of planning, shelving of the plans, debates over new plans, funding issues and, finally, construction, the feeling of accomplishment running through the crowd has been a long time coming. Representatives from local, county and state offices gave remarks that held common themes of gratitude at the cooperation among the different parties involved in the planning and execution, and optimism that the new road will bring much-needed relief to traffic congestion between the two sections of Bucks and Montgomery counties. "This road is a model of what can happen when…

Formerly sponsored by Univest in the Souderton area, the bike race is being resurrected and moved to Central Bucks County
Come September, cycling fans will have a new professional bike race to flock to - the Bucks County Classic, which organizers hope will become one of the largest events hosted in the county each year.

The new race, which will debut this September, grew out of the ashes of the now-defunct Univest Grand Prix. For years, that event comprised a Saturday professional race in Souderton in Montgomery County, near Lansdale, and a Sunday circuit race around Doylestown. When it ended last year, officials started getting ideas. "We very quickly came …
