MONTGOMERYVILLE, Pa. -

In Bucks County, State and local lawmakers on Monday cut the ribbon to the new multi-million dollar gateway into Montgomery County.

Drivers have waited years for PennDOT to finish the Route 202 Parkway project.

A parade of local and state officials touted the cooperation needed to move the $200 million project from idea to reality.

FOX 29's Bruce Gordan reports the new parkway marks the first major new road in this area since the 1990s.

    It was a gloomy Sunday as the whole area remain socked in with low clouds & fog, drizzle and scattered showers.

    By Thursday a cold front moves by bringing more rain.  It will also bring drier and cooler weather by Friday as we finally clear out.
