The purpose of this
web site is to provide you with timely, accurate construction project
information to facilitate a favorable travel experience when using
Pennsylvania's 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.
This project
consists of the total reconstruction and the addition of a third travel
lane in each direction of the Pennsylvania Turnpike (I-76) between
Warrendale Plaza (Milepost 31) and Butler Valley (Milepost 38). The
total reconstruction will be along existing alignment except for the
segment between MP 32.4 and MP 35.5 where the existing curve geometry
is being improved. In addition to the roadway improvements, all four
structures carrying the mainline will be reconstructed. Previously four
(4) overhead structures crossing the turnpike mainline were replaced in
preparation for this project. Construction began (Notice to Proceed)
June 9, 2009 and is scheduled to be completed by late fall 2012. The
current estimate for Construction Costs is $113 million.
The project is
scheduled to be completed in Late Fall 2012.
