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.

You can watch Bruce Gordan's report in the video above.
