Home Traveling Design & Construction

The PA Turnpike is dedicated to improving and maintaining our roadway to ensure safety for all who ride and work on it. We use innovative and trusted techniques to preserve America’s first superhighway for the best ride possible while ensuring we are ready for the future needs of the traveling public.

Driving Towards Success

The Pennsylvania Turnpike Commission's mission is to operate a safe, reliable, customer-valued toll road system that supports national mobility and commerce. To make this a reality, we adopted a Capital Plan Investment - $7.5 billion over ten years. This investment has enabled the completion of over 150 miles of total reconstruction of our system to date. The direct impact to our customers will be a better ride and better mobility. This reconstruction will enable future maintenance to occur with minimal disruption, while also having a positive economic impact on our neighboring communities.
