Project Overview
Engineering Preliminary Design: November 2012-2015
Engineering Final Design Initiated: TBD
Estimated Project Cost: TBD
As part of the Pennsylvania Turnpike Commission (PTC) total-reconstruction program, the PTC has planned to reconstruct and widen the mainline in this six-mile stretch between the Ft. Littleton Interchange at Milepost 180 in Dublin Township, Fulton County to Milepost 186 in Dublin Township, Huntingdon County, just west of the Tuscarora Tunnel.
Preliminary Design for the mainline work was completed in the Spring of 2015. This work determined the impacts to utilities, local road and stream crossings, and properties adjacent to the Turnpike. Final Design for the mainline has currently been suspended due to coordination with other projects and available funding. However, the PTC has begun the design process to replace the two PTC mainline structures over Locke Road (T-300) Please see the upcoming anticipated work for the second quarter of 2025.
SPRING / SUMMER 2025
- Communication with Stakeholders: The design team will begin to prepare letters that will be sent and coordinated to all stakeholders. No letters have been sent at this time. We will continue to coordinate and keep communication lines open as the preliminary design phase begins.
- Field Documentation: Once the team has sent and notified all stakeholders, our team will begin to conduct field views to document environmental constraints, structure inspections, surveying and mapping updates and take an an inventory of existing signage to coordinate with maintenance and protection of traffic.
