About this project
Bank of America plans a new 4,275-square-foot bank with a drive-through at the Cedarbrook Plaza shopping center on S. Easton Road in Cheltenham Township. The building and its drive-through lanes will occupy the spot where a drive-through ATM now sits, replacing 54 parking spaces and changing traffic flow in that part of the lot. Only about half an acre of the 33.5-acre center is being disturbed.
