This project will reconstruct and widen approximately five miles of the Pennsylvania Turnpike from Milepost A53 to A57 in Lower Macungie Township, passing through Upper Macungie Township, and ending in South Whitehall 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 will advance on five overhead bridges.
The Tilghman Street Bridge (SR 1002) and Lower Macungie Road Bridge (SR 2012) are currently under construction. More details can be found on the Improvements Page in the Overhead Bridge section.
