Project Overview

This project will reconstruct and widen approximately four miles of the Pennsylvania Turnpike from milepost A44 to milepost A48 in Milford Township in Bucks County and Lower Milford Township in Lehigh County. The roadway will be widened from four lanes to six, featuring 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, and improving stormwater drainage through the area. As part of this multi-phase project, the PA Turnpike advanced replacement of the Cassel Road Bridge (Township Route 383) over the Turnpike which was completed in fall 2022.

Upon completion, this reconstruction and widening project will enhance safety and mobility for travelers on this section of the interstate.
