The purpose of this web site is to provide you with timely, accurate construction project information to facilitate a favorable travel experience when using the Pennsylvania Turnpike system.

Keeping you informed about planned construction activity on the Turnpike will help you to prepare for safe navigation through construction work zone areas for the duration of the project.

The Route 903 E-ZPass Only Interchange (Interchange #87) will allow entry to and exit from the Northeastern Extension (I-476) in Penn Forest Township, Carbon County. Located between the Mahoning Valley (Interchange #74) and Pocono (Interchange #95) Interchanges, the new facility will shorten travel times for commuters; help ease traffic congestion at neighboring interchanges and on local roads; and provide additional access to nearby recreational areas. The AEI is an unstaffed interchange built exclusively for use by E-ZPass customers. Construction will be performed in a two-phase approach: Phase 1 - a DESIGN-BUILD contract to construct one-half of the new bridge to carry Route 903 over the Northeastern Extension was completed in 2010. Phase 2 is a conventional construction contract and will include all remaining and necessary work to complete this new point of access. Additional work will include widening the existing Route 903 roadway to accommodate one northbound through lane, two southbound through lanes and left turn lanes for traffic entering I-476 from Route 903.
