Design Activities

Final design is currently underway for the mainline section of this corridor, and environmental studies continue to advance in support of the environmental permitting process. Fieldwork is also underway to inform the design team of key features as they make every effort to minimize impacts to the community and the environment.

Over the past six months, the following activities have been completed:

  • Utility Investigations - Subsurface utilities were located off the shoulder of I-476 at Milepost A50.6, between Main Road West and Mill Road bridges.
  • Geotechnical Testing - Drilling was performed along the shoulders of I-476 northbound between the bridge over Chestnut Street and the northern project limit at Milepost A53, south of Lower Macungie Road. 
  • Wetland Investigations – Additional fieldwork was performed along both sides of the Turnpike between the bridges over Limeport Pike and Church View Road.

Looking forward, work will continue on utility investigations, geotechnical and storm water management testing, and stream and wetland investigations. 

A Public Plans Display was conducted on May 23, 2024. The team continues referencing the feedback provided and conducting follow-up studies as needed. Please note that the noise analysis displays shared at the public meeting are being updated and will be posted to the website when complete. Community noise meetings will be scheduled before final decisions are made on locations. Check out the News and Public Involvement page to review the Plans Display exhibits. A comment form is also posted if you have feedback.
