PA Turnpike Completes Cranberry Interchange Project
Improvement project repaired pavement on ramps and enhanced safety measures
CRANBERRY TOWNSHIP, Pa. — The Pennsylvania Turnpike (PA Turnpike) has completed a two-year long construction project for improvements at the Cranberry Interchange (Exit 28).
The $10.4 million project, which began in July 2023, was completed on time following a final inspection of the project last week. During the project, crews repaired concrete pavement on ramps and bridges. In addition, guiderails were upgraded, drainage was improved, and concrete bridge barriers were patched, along with other repairs and safety improvements.
The PA Turnpike worked with a project team from CDR Maguire Engineering, The Markosky Engineering Group, Inc. and Whitman, Requardt and Associates, LLC to complete the project.
The repairs are part of the PA Turnpike’s Capital Plan Investment, which invests approximately $8 billion in projects over the next ten years. Funded exclusively through toll dollars, the ten-year Capital Plan enhances safety, reduces congestion and provides more efficient travel experience for PA Turnpike customers. Key projects include the total reconstruction initiative, the Beaver River Bridge Replacement Project, which is under construction and scheduled to be completed in 2027, and the completion of Open Road Tolling (ORT), which launched earlier this year in the eastern part of the state and is scheduled to launch statewide in 2027.
This roadwork is critical to delivering on the Pennsylvania Turnpike (PA Turnpike)'s mission of operating a safe, reliable, customer-valued toll road system that supports national mobility and commerce. Since 2023, the PA Turnpike has supported more than $1 billion in construction bids to modernize, maintain or improve customer experience. Key projects include resurfacing nearly 75 miles roadway, a record-high 27 miles of total reconstruction, and replacing key bridges at Beaver River and Hawk Falls.
