Project Overview

Design Details

This project is for the full depth total roadway reconstruction of six miles of the Pennsylvania Turnpike. Upon completion of this project, the existing four-lane facility with a 10 foot median and 12 foot shoulders will be converted into a six-lane facility with three - 12 foot travel lanes east and westbound, a 26 foot median, and 12 foot shoulders.

This project also includes the replacement of two overhead bridges, seven mainline bridges, lengthening of culverts, and the construction of storm water management facilities and other drainage improvements at various locations throughout the project limits. The final design phase of this project is targeted for completion in 2010. The following are bridges that will be replaced as part of this contract and the roadways they carry:
