Public Involvement
The Mon/Fayette PA Route 51 to I-376 Project is the final of four Mon/Fayette projects that would provide a four-lane, limited access expressway from I-68 in West Virginia to I-376 in the Pittsburgh area. This final project would extend from PA Route 51 to I-376. The PA Route 51 to I-376 Project obtained a Record of Decision from the FHWA in December 2004 identifying the Selected Alternative to be designed and constructed. That alternative moved into the Final Design process but was put on hold in 2009 due to a lack of sufficient funding for construction. With the passage of Act 89 in 2013, funding is once again available to move this project forward. The PTC has made some modifications to the 2004 Selected Alternative and is reevaluating the impacts of this project on the environment.
Virtual Presentation for Dravosburg/West Mifflin Design Modifications
The Pennsylvania Turnpike Commission invites you to view a special presentation concerning design modifications to the PA Route 51 to I-376 Mon/Fayette Expressway Project being considered in the area of West Mifflin and Dravosburg – specifically between Camp Hollow Road and Pittsburgh-McKeesport Boulevard.
The design modifications in this area are due to recent findings from geotechnical explorations (drilling), utility relocation issues, ongoing assessment of environmental impacts and future maintenance considerations.
