Construction Activities

Winter 2024-2025 Construction:

The project is currently in stage 4 construction.  The mainline PA Turnpike lanes have been shifted southward to allow for earthwork, grading, and asphalt paving for the realignment of the roadway to meet the new river crossing structures.  All 4 piers for the westbound Beaver River Bridge Crossing have been completed and Pier Tables have been completed for Piers 1 and 4. Pier Table construction for piers 2 and 3 are in progress and will be completed in the spring of 2025.  Form Traveler installation is in progress for Piers 1 and 4 and segmental concrete placements will begin in February 2025 and continue through the summer of 2025.  Two piers (1 & 4) have been completed for the eastbound Beaver River Bridge Crossing and pier table construction is in progress at these piers.  Pier construction is in progress for piers 2 & 3 with completion scheduled for the summer of 2025.  The majority of the project excavation has been completed for the new roadway realignment with limited excavation remaining for the new configuration of the Beaver Valley Interchange which will continue throughout the winter and spring.  Bridge deck construction for WB-209 (I-76 over SR-0018) is currently on hold and will resume in the spring with completion of the bridge scheduled for the summer of 2025.  Mainline roadway and interchange storm drainage activities continue as well as Erosion and Sedimentation control and maintenance.

Big Beaver Boulevard (SR-0018) reconstruction continues with traffic shifted to the newly reconstructed northbound lanes.  Reconstruction of the existing southbound lanes will continue through the winter and spring of 2025.  New sanitary sewer line construction and upgraded storm drainage will be completed by spring 2025 as well.  Traffic flow on and off I-76 eastbound and westbound are in temporary ramp configurations so please use caution and follow posted signage when entering and exiting the Turnpike.  Please use caution through the construction zone for intermittent flagging activities and construction vehicles as they enter/exit the work areas.

River Road (SR-1001) is currently in a single lane configuration through the construction zone for form traveler and pier table construction.  Traffic controlled by temporary traffic signal.  Thank you for your patience.
