Property Information

The Pennsylvania Turnpike Commission (PTC) has a deep and abiding respect for the property rights of individuals and the federal and state laws governing property ownership. Our procedures place the highest priority on honoring the rights of individuals and the value of their investments, while also ensuring that we remain true to our mission of providing transportation services for the vast population of the state. In order to provide Western Pennsylvania with modern, high-quality highways and transportation facilities such as the PA Route 51 to I-376 Project, it will be necessary to acquire some property.

As the Selected Alternative was developed and studied, preliminary Right-of-Way (ROW) limits were established and property impacts identified. Once a funding source is identified, the ROW Acquisition Plan identifying the specific properties to be purchased will be finalized. Then, ROW specialists will formally contact and communicate with property owners and tenants to provide information and relocation assistance. Property owners and tenants that will be displaced or will have a portion of their property purchased will be compensated at fair market value and will be provided adequate notice and coordination before acquisition occurs.
