RE: Liberty Bell Motorsports Park - TwentySix - 03-28-2015
The latest mention of it that I found is in this article:

In other business at the Feb. 16 meeting, Supervisors’ Chairman Donald E. Basile said two trees located on private property are impeding the township from developing a left-turn lane at Route 724 and River Bridge Road.
The left-turn lane would improve the intersection’s safety and alleviate traffic congestion after the Liberty Bell Motorsports Park opens in the spring of 2017.
“PennDOT said that two trees have to go,” said Basile, “but, the (land owner) said ‘no.’ The left-turn lane at River Bridge Road won’t work if the trees have to go.”
He said the property owner told township officials the trees provide “screening” in front of her house.
State Sen. John C. Rafferty Jr., R-44th Dist., investigated the matter for the township.
“PennDOT considers the trees to be a safety and an engineering concern,” said Basile.
He said Ethan Michael Inc., developer of the Liberty Bell Motorsports Park, is funding a minimum of $350,000 — about half of the funding estimated to install the intersection’s full-service traffic signal and a shoulder “go-around.”
