Fall 2024 Project Briefing Summary

Thank you to all who took the time to learn about the preliminary engineering of phase of work and provide feedback.

On September 26, 2024, more than 160 people attended the Project Briefing at Somerset Church of the Brethren to learn about the Allegheny Mountain Realignment Project. The goals of the briefing were to:

  • Update elected officials, stakeholders and the community on the status of the project.
  • Provide an overview of the work anticipated during preliminary engineering and the field studies anticipated along the selected alternative.
  • Provide an opportunity to the public to give feedback.

The briefing included a detailed presentation (see link below) and public comments were accepted from 18 attendees. The 30-day comment period closed on October 25, 2024 with 25 comment forms submitted. Primary concerns shared related to the preferred alternative, water quality, habitat protection, safety, community impacts and property access.   The PA Turnpike has reviewed  the feedback shared and, where applicable, will incorporate the feedback into the design. 

Your feedback is meaningful and will continue to be considered with all feedback throughout the life of the project. The Frequently Asked Questions section of this website will be updated with more detailed responses as the design work continues.

Public Involvement Plan

Public involvement has been, and continues to be, a critical part of the Allegheny Mountain Realignment Project. There have been dozens of coordination meetings over the years including public officials’ briefings, special interest group meetings, and general public meetings.  

The PA Turnpike will continue with these opportunities and enhancing communications and outreach to ensure the public and all interested stakeholders are kept informed about this project. 

The preliminary design phase will conclude with a public meeting targeted for 2028 during which the community may review the proposed design for the new alignment and the required right of way impacts. At this meeting, the public will have the opportunity to provide comments before the project moves to final design. All feedback will be recorded and considered during the final design phase of the project.  

Please direct any questions or feedback to the project manager at alleghenymountain@paturnpike.com.
