Engineering Design Activities
The Pennsylvania Turnpike awarded the contract for the State Route 130 Interchange in 2022. Preliminary engineering design officially began in spring 2023.
Prior to the start of environmental field views in September 2023, the PTC sent project initiation letters to area businesses, local and elected officials, and property owners located within the general footprint of the interchange design study area. The project initiation letter explained the nature of the project and contact information for questions or concerns regarding the project.
Following that notification, the project team distributed Notice of Intent to Enter (NOITE) letters to the same list of property owners to advise that fieldwork to be performed for this project may require access to their property, and the steps to be taken to notify them in advance when access was needed.
A traffic study was performed at 31 intersections surrounding the project area. The existing intersection delay was compared to the design year (2050) no-build and build delay utilizing projected traffic volumes. The PTC is coordinating the results of this study with PennDOT Engineering District 12 to determine if additional congestion mitigation measures should be pursued.
This information will be updated as the project design progresses.
