Project Overview & Schedule

The Pennsylvania Turnpike Commission (PA Turnpike) plans to reconstruct and widen the Northeast Extension (I-476) from Milepost A44 to A48. The project corridor traverses Milford Township in Bucks County and Lower Milford Township in Lehigh County.

The existing four-lane highway is 72 feet wide and will be widened and reconstructed to 122 feet wide. This new roadway will accommodate three 12-foot travel lanes in each direction, a 26-foot median, and 12-foot outside shoulders (see rendering below).

The Design Team is currently developing engineering plans and coordinating studies in support of the environmental permitting process.  Below is the anticipated schedule.
