Project Overview
This project will reconstruct and widen approximately six miles of the Pennsylvania Turnpike from Milepost 155 to Milepost 160 in West and East Providence Townships, Bedford County. The roadway will be widened from four lanes to six lanes, with three 12-foot-wide travel lanes in each direction, a 26-foot median, and 12-foot-wide shoulders.
The project also involves replacing mainline bridges over local roads, lengthening culverts, construction of sound barriers, and improving stormwater drainage through the area. As part of this multi-phase project, the PA Turnpike will evaluate one culvert and three overhead bridge structures—MP 155.66 (twin concrete arch culvert over SR 0026, Clear Ridge Road), MP 156.08 (overhead structure carrying Ritchey Road West over the Turnpike), MP 157.49 (overhead structure carrying Ritchey Road East over the Turnpike), and MP 159.77 (overhead structure carrying Pointer Road over the Turnpike)—located in West and East Providence Townships, Bedford County.
Upon completion, this reconstruction and widening will enhance safety and mobility for travelers on this section of the interstate.
