QuoteUniontown, PA – Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT) Engineering District 12, along with the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA), invites the community to participate in an open house format public meeting to review and comment on the Dunlap Creek Bridge Rehabilitation Project in Brownsville Borough, Fayette County.

Date:  Tuesday, November 28, 2023
Time:  5:00 to 6:30 PM
Location:  St. Mary's Social Hall
118 Church Street
Brownsville, PA 15417

A formal presentation will be held at 5:15 PM and the remainder of the meeting will be open house format with PennDOT representatives available to discuss the project and answer questions.

The existing Dunlap Creek Bridge – listed on the National Register of Historic Places (National Register) and a National Historic Civil Engineering Landmark – was constructed by the United States Army Corps of Engineers in 1839 as the first cast iron metal arch bridge in the United States. It is a single-span, cast iron, arch rib structure that was modified in 1922 to replace bridge deck material and install cantilevered support brackets and sidewalks lined with replacement metal railings.

This project is designed as a sensitive rehabilitation of the historic bridge structure that will remove later encumbrances and restore views of the bridge. It will ensure continued structural integrity, stability, and soundness. The refurbishment will include the installation of a new midblock crossing and a pedestrian bridge for safety and accessibility.

The in person public meeting location complies with requirements of the Americans with Disabilities Act and is accessible to individuals who have disabilities. The project documents will be made available in alternative languages or formats if requested. If you need translation/interpretation services or have special needs or concerns that require individual attention, please contact Project Manager Mr. Gary Ferrari no later than one week before the meeting at gferrari@pa.gov or 724.439.7156.

The faster PennDOT can get going on the I-78 reconstruction, the better. That stretch is becoming a very rough ride (especially westbound) and needs a climbing lane for the tractor trailers (again, westbound), if not a full six-lane widening.

The faster PennDOT can get going on the I-78 reconstruction, the better. That stretch is becoming a very rough ride (especially westbound) and needs a climbing lane for the tractor trailers (again, westbound), if not a full six-lane widening.

Unfortunately, PennDOT has shortsightedly not been building replacement bridges over I-78 to be long enough for three lanes each way plus full shoulders. If they can fit a third lane at all, it will likely require reducing the inside shoulder width to something more like the unreconstructed PA Turnpike or newly reconstructed segments of I-70 west of New Stanton. This is most noticeable with the PA 737 bridge at Krumsville, which is visibly longer on only one side (https://maps.app.goo.gl/eyj64dxAVHZqUXxp7) to accommodate the new eastbound climbing lane here.

It was actually approved by AASHTO in 2015 with signage posted in 2016.

My understanding is that businesses complained about the loss of US 202 along the old route.  Note though that the AASHTO approval mentions a concurrency with PA 611 back to US 202, but that is obviously not signed in the field.

QuoteDunmore, PA – The Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT) invites the public to view an online plans display regarding the Rehabilitation of Route 347 over the Lackawanna River.

The purpose of the project is to rehabilitate several deteriorated areas on and around the bridge and improve the channel of the Lackawanna River under the bridge to maintain continued access for local residents, businesses, and emergency services.

The Route 347 rehabilitation project proposes to provide a concrete deck overlay on the bridge, repair and replace portions of the sidewalk on and adjacent to the bridge, provide an ADA compliant ramp in the southwest corner, repair damaged portions of the sidewalk railing, and provide protective coatings to the exterior beams. The project also proposes to remove the sediment island around the pier and place rock channeling at the abutments to maintain flow down the center of the channel under low flow conditions. The roadway will be milled and overlayed to match with the new deck overlay. No additional roadway improvements are anticipated with this project. Utility conflicts are not anticipated for this project. Temporary right-of-way easements are anticipated at the four corners of the bridge. The flood protection gate at the south side of the bridge will not be affected.

Removal of the sediment bar is proposed to improve the river's flow capacity under the bridge, and the rock channeling is proposed to prevent sediment bars from forming in the future.

No significant historical or cultural resources are present within the project site. Wetlands are not present within the project limits. Other environmentally sensitive resources will not be affected by the project. The entrance/exit to the Lackawanna River Heritage Trail will be closed at the intersection with Lackawanna Avenue during the sidewalk replacement.

The repairs are expected to be constructed with no significant impact to traffic on Route 347, and access will be maintained to all local businesses. The deck overlay and approach work is proposed to be completed using nighttime operations, maintaining one lane of traffic. Additional daytime shoulder closures and short-term lane shifts will be necessary to complete sidewalk repairs and for equipment access. Construction is expected to be completed in the Fall of 2025.

The plans display will be held online and will be available from April 12, 2024, to May 3, 2024. Online information, including detailed project information and comment form, can be found by visiting the following PennDOT District 4-0 website: Public Meetings (pa.gov). Click on the Lackawanna County box, then choose the tile marked Route 347 over Lackawanna River Bridge Rehabilitation.

The purpose of the plans display is to introduce the project, display and describe the planned traffic control, and receive public input regarding questions or concerns with the project.

The project documents can be made available in alternative languages or formats if requested.

These investments support the Shapiro Administration's vision of a safe and reliable transportation network that connects Pennsylvanians to greater opportunity.

Governor Shapiro's 2023-24 budget secured $125 million to fully leverage federal Bipartisan Infrastructure Law investments and improve Pennsylvania's roads and bridges. The investment is made possible by decoupling Pennsylvania State Police funding from the Motor License Fund and is the first year of the Governor's four-year proposal to invest an additional $1.25 billion in the state's infrastructure. Statewide in 2023, 684 bridges went out for bid to be repaired, replaced, or preserved and 7,011 roadway miles were improved by department or partner crews.

"Our 2024 construction season features key projects across our region that will improve critical features of our transportation system," said PennDOT District 9 Executive Vince Greenland. "These projects, and others across Pennsylvania, are an investment to not only improve travel across the state, but also benefit the communities that rely on these transportation links."

District 9 annual Transportation Outreach sessions began today in Bedford and Fulton counties, with meetings to be held in Huntingdon and Blair counties on Thursday, April 11, and on Thursday, April 18, in Somerset and Cambria counties. PennDOT representatives meet with area stakeholders during each presentation to discuss planned and future construction and maintenance projects currently in design.

"The financial support system built with federal and state dollars expands our ability to bid more jobs, keeping more Pennsylvanians employed and taking care of their families," added Greenland.

Overall highlights in the 2024 construction season for District 9 (Bedford, Blair, Cambria, Fulton, Huntingdon, and Somerset counties) include:

Approximately 149 miles of paving;
Approximately 79 bridges will be repaired or replaced;
Approximately 375 miles of roadway will be seal coated.

QuoteThe proposed project includes a range of roadway and intersection improvements involving Germantown Pike (G170) and Ridge Pike (SR 4031) corridors, designed as early actions in support of a future, separately programmed Second Bridge Crossing over the Perkiomen Creek project south of the existing bridge. See attached Project Location Map and Roadway Aerial Plan.

Proposed improvements include:
•Constructing a new Germantown Pike Connector Road between Germantown Pike (G170) and SR 4031 (Ridge Pike) approximately 1,300 feet east of the existing poorly skewed signalized intersection of those same roadways.
•Extending the new Germantown Pike Connector Road southwest of SR 4031 (Ridge Pike) to Pechins Mill Road (township).
•Providing a traffic signal at the new SR 4031 (Ridge Pike)/new Germantown Pike Connector Road intersection and eliminating the poorly skewed SR 4031 (Ridge Pike)/Germantown Pike (G170) signalized intersection and the adjacent stop sign controlled SR 4009 (River Road)/Germantown Pike (G170) intersection immediately east of the Perkiomen Creek bridge.
•Providing a roundabout at the northern end of the new Germantown Pike Connector Road.
•Extending SR 4009 (River Road) to the proposed roundabout.
•Widening of SR 4031 (Ridge Pike) to add shoulders and sidewalks between the Perkiomen Creek bridge and Crosskeys Road (township) and to provide turn lanes at the new SR 4031 (Ridge Pike)/new Germantown Pike Connector Road signalized intersection.
•Providing new storm drainage and storm water management facilities in the project area.
•Providing minor roadway improvements (shoulder reconstruction, guiderail, mill/overlay) to Pechins Mill Road (township)
•Providing a short length township roadway, with cul-de-sac, as 4th roundabout leg for several private driveway connections.◦Note - construction cost estimate increase since the original CEE preparation is attributable to additional work added and described in two prior bullets, plus new costs associated with:  hazmat items not previously identified for lead in soil (gun club), earthwork items subsequently confirmed in final GER (benching, stone drainage for high groundwater and removal of unsuitable material), excavation for driveway and parking lot reconstruction; significant additional drainage item quantities, lighting items not accounted for originally, and general finalization of pavement, curb and sidewalk items.

•Demolishing three (3) structures impacted by proposed roadway widening (or new alignment) and storm water management facility.  The demolitions will be completed as part of an early action construction project (separate MPMS 82115).

QuoteToday, the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT) District 5 highlighted projects anticipated to begin this year in Berks, Carbon, Lehigh, Monroe, Northampton, and Schuylkill counties. Governor Josh Shapiro's commitment to delivering safe highways and bridges across the Commonwealth remains a top priority. These investments support the Shapiro Administration's vision of a safe and reliable transportation network that connects Pennsylvanians to greater opportunity.

The Department anticipates investing more than $1.3 billion this year in the region's infrastructure. There are 78 projects anticipated to start during the 2024 construction season with an estimated value of over $375 million, and 105 projects with a contract value of over $1 billion are currently active.

Governor Shapiro's 2023-24 budget  secured $125 million to fully leverage federal Bipartisan Infrastructure Law (BIL) investments and improve Pennsylvania's roads and bridges. The investment is made possible by decoupling Pennsylvania State Police funding from the Motor License Fund and is the first year of the Governor's four-year proposal to invest an additional $1.25 billion in the state's infrastructure. Statewide in 2023, 684 bridges went out for bid to be repaired, replaced, or preserved and 7,011 roadway miles were improved by department or partner crews.

Overall highlights in the 2024 construction season for District 5 include:
•   1,155 miles of roadway improvements.
•   157 bridges will be addressed.
•   299 miles of seal coating.
•   632 miles of crack sealing.

The event was held near one of the projects that recently began, the Route 61 Frackville to St. Clair Improvement Project in Schuylkill County. The over $115 million project is partially funded by a $21 million federal Infrastructure for Rebuilding America (INFRA) grant.

The Route 61 project includes full depth pavement reconstruction, safety improvements including realignment of several substandard curves, heavy excavation, intersection upgrades at Darkwater Road, wider shoulders, reconstruction and/or rehabilitation of eight culverts and four retaining walls, a bridge, slope stabilization, message boards, sign structures, ADA curb ramps and miscellaneous construction.

The project also includes upgrading the Route 61 intersection with Darkwater Road in New Castle Township. This intersection will be widened, turning lanes will be added, and a traffic signal will be added.

QuoteHarrisburg, PA – The Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT) Engineering District 8-0 invites the public to an online plan display regarding pedestrian safety upgrades to Route 441 (Eisenhower Blvd) in Swatara Township, Dauphin County.

The purpose of the project is to provide safer pedestrian access along the Route 441 (Eisenhower Blvd) corridor between Highland Street and Lindle Road. The proposed work will install new sidewalks on both sides of Route 441 along with ADA curb ramps, including ADA curb ramps at driveways, pedestrian signals, and crosswalks at the intersections. The project will also mill and pave the existing pavement and provide new pavement markings. The new pavement markings will allow for bike lanes in both directions. Street lighting will also be installed along both sides of the road.

Construction is estimated to take place in the 2025 construction season. Traffic will be maintained throughout the duration of the project via staged short-term construction. Driveway access will be maintained at all times during construction to businesses along this section of Route 441. The acquisition of temporary construction easements or required right of way will not be required for this project as the existing legal right of way is wide enough to accommodate all necessary upgrades.

QuoteThe Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT) invites the public to view the online plans display for a project to replace the bridge that carries South Dock Street (Route 718) over Pine Run in the City of Sharon, Mercer County.

The purpose of the project is to replace the bridge while also improving safety and accessibility for pedestrians.

Information on the proposed South Dock Street Bridge Replacement, including a handout, project plans and an online comment form, can be viewed at by visiting the PennDOT District 1 website, www.penndot.pa.gov/District1 under the Design and Construction Projects link.

The bridge is located on South Dock Street between the intersection with Wayne Place and the roundabout intersection with East Connelly Blvd.

The project will include replacing the existing bridge with a concrete box culvert, as well as the replacement of curb/median and sidewalk on the eastern side of the roadway.

Work is expected to occur during the 2026 construction season.

The project will be constructed using a temporary runaround, so the roadway can remain open for the majority of the project. Construction of the proposed runaround will be completed at the start of the project and will require the removal of a portion of the existing curb and center median. It will extend through the existing industrial parking lot on the western side of the project and will include access for a pedestrian detour adjacent to the runaround.

The existing single span steel I-beam bridge was built in 1923 and reconstructed in 1990. It is classified as poor condition. Approximately 7,000 vehicles a day use the bridge, on average.

The South Dock Street Bridge Replacement online comment form will remain active through September 20, 2024. Those unable to access the information online may give feedback by contacting PennDOT Project Manager Kyle Barker at kybarker@pa.gov or 814-678-7166.

The purpose of the plans display is to introduce the project and receive public input regarding any questions or concerns with the project. It is also an opportunity for the public to review and comment on the project's potential effect upon Cultural Resources pursuant to the Advisory Council on Historic Preservation's 36 CFR Part 800 regulations implementing Section 106 of the National Historic Preservation Act.

The project documents will be made available in alternative languages or formats if requested.

QuoteHarrisburg, PA – The Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT) announced today that an interim repair project for the Route 462 Columbia-Wrightsville Bridge spanning the Susquehanna River between Lancaster and York counties is set to begin.

Weather permitting, work will begin Monday, September 16. This work includes repairing bridge beams and strengthening select columns on the west (Wrightsville) half of the bridge.


Vehicle, bike, and pedestrian traffic currently not restricted from using the bridge will be maintained throughout the construction period.

Long-term lane shifts will be in place. One lane of traffic will be open in each direction on the bridge for much of this project. However, there also may be intermittent single lane closures under flagging, as needed.

Boaters can avoid under-bridge work locations by following signs placed on the side of the bridge.

CriLon Corp., of Somerset, PA, is the contractor on this $910,780 project. All work is expected to be completed by the end of the year.

A 10-ton weight restriction currently is in place on the bridge. The restriction was implemented last year after a routine inspection uncovered deterioration to the primary load carrying members of the open spandrel concrete arch spans along portions of the bridge. 

This restriction, which was implemented to reduce strain on the bridge and prevent further deterioration, will remain in place after the interim repairs are completed.

QuoteClearfield, PA – The Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT) announced that the contractor for an Interstate 80 preservation project between mile markers 97 and 120 in Clearfield County changed the traffic pattern on I-80 and Route 153 earlier this week. This project will improve the ride quality and extend the service life of nearly 24 miles of roadway and six bridges along this I-80 corridor.

The contractor closed the left (passing) lane on I-80 westbound at mile marker 111 to reconstruct the roadway under the Route 153 overpass. It also closed the right (travel) lane of Route 153 northbound heading toward Penfield and closed the on-ramp to I-80 westbound, normally accessible via that lane. Northbound traffic will now access I-80 westbound by turning left and crossing both southbound lanes of Route 153 to use the southbound on-ramp. Signing and channelizing devices will be in place to direct traffic.

PennDOT anticipates this traffic pattern will remain in place until the end of October. All work is weather-dependent.

Overall work on this project involves paving, bridge improvements, installation of Intelligent transportation devices, guide rail installation, pavement marking, and miscellaneous construction. HRI, Inc., of State College, is the contractor on this $47.7 million project. PennDOT anticipates project completion in November 2025. All work is weather-dependent.

QuoteHarrisburg, PA – The Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT) announced today there will be a short-term closure tonight at the interim repair project for the Route 462 Columbia-Wrightsville Bridge spanning the Susquehanna River between Columbia in Lancaster County and Wrightsville in York County.

Weather permitting, at approximately 7:00 PM tonight, Thursday, September 26, a closure of up to 15 minutes will be implemented on the bridge so the contractor can perform bridge jacking on the Wrightsville side of the structure. Delays are expected during the stoppage.

The interim repair project includes repairing bridge beams and strengthening select columns on the west (Wrightsville) half of the bridge.

Vehicle, bike, and pedestrian traffic currently not restricted from using the bridge will be maintained throughout the construction period.

Long-term lane shifts will be in place. One lane of traffic will be open in each direction on the bridge for much of this project. However, there also may be short-term closures and intermittent single lane restrictions under flagging, as needed.

Boaters can avoid under-bridge work locations by following signs placed on the side of the bridge.

CriLon Corp., of Somerset, PA, is the contractor on this $910,780 project. All work is expected to be completed by the end of the year.

A 10-ton weight restriction currently is in place on the bridge. The restriction was implemented last year after a routine inspection uncovered deterioration to the primary load carrying members of the open spandrel concrete arch spans along portions of the bridge. 

This restriction, which was implemented to reduce strain on the bridge and prevent further deterioration, will remain in place after the interim repairs are completed.

QuoteThe Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT) has provided an update on the Route 403 (Tire Hill Road) Restoration Project in Somerset County, with lead contractor, Plum Contracting, Inc., of Greensburg, planning to have one of the final phases of the project completed by Nov. 18.

The contractors are planning to complete the construction of a box culvert about 500 feet north of the intersection of Kring Street and Soap Hollow Road by Nov. 18.

The work requires the road to be closed at the site – meaning traffic cannot travel directly from the intersections of Route 403 and Kring Street and Soap Hollow Road on the southern end to Route 985 and Ferndale Avenue on the north end. The present posted detours will remain in place for the duration of the project, and motorists will have the same access to homes and businesses as they did during the previous closure.

The previous road closure had Route 403 (Tire Hill Road) closed near Greenhouse Park since April after heavy rains washed away a retaining wall at the site. Replacement of the retaining wall had been included in the original plan, but closure of the road had to be pushed up from the anticipated date due to the washout.

On Oct. 25, the retaining wall was completed and section of Route 403 (Tire Hill Road) near Greenhouse Park was reopened under weekday, single-lane restrictions with a flagger during daylight working hours, and with both lanes open during evening hours and on the weekends. Some work still needs completed in the area of the retaining wall, such as guide rail updates, which the contractor planes to have finished by early November.

The $14.5 million project is expected to be completed in November 2024 and is weather dependent. It includes 6.5-miles of pavement preservation, milling, resurfacing, guide rail and drainage upgrades, and new signage and pavement markings.

QuoteHarrisburg, PA – The Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT) invites the public to view the online plans display for the Route 2024 (Weaver Road) Stream Relocation Project in Strasburg Township, Lancaster County. Current conditions include an existing watercourse which extends along the northern roadway shoulder. During rain events the stream frequently overtops its banks resulting in localized flooding and erosion The purpose of the project is to provide a sustainable travel way by reducing roadway flooding and the reduction of more frequent repairs to correct roadway erosion.

The project involves the relocation of the existing watercourse to its former pastoral alignment located a sufficient distance to the north of the existing roadway. Two existing drainage features, a 24-inch pipe and 30-inch pipe, will be replaced with a single 48-inch by 76-inch elliptical pipe to safely convey the peak stormwater flow and reduce sediment accumulation. The roadway profile will be adjusted to provide sufficient cover over the new pipe and improve surface water runoff. The roadway will additionally involve a full depth pavement removal and replacement. The road will be closed for approximately three months to all traffic while the road is being reconstructed. The proposed 2.3-mile detour uses Route 2024 to Route 2015 (May Post Office Road) to Township Road T-466 (Sawmill Road).

The project is currently in design and construction work is expected to take place in the 2026 construction season.

A digital version of the information will be available to view online from November 8, 2024, to December 8, 2024.

Information, including roadway and bridge plans and an interactive comment form, can be found by visiting the PennDOT District 8 website, www.penndot.gov/District8, clicking on Public Meetings listed under the Resources heading, and choosing the Lancaster County box then the tile marked Weaver Road Stream Relocation.

The purpose of the plans display is to introduce the project and receive public input regarding any questions or concerns with the project. It is also an opportunity for the public to review and comment on the project's potential effect upon Cultural Resources pursuant to the Advisory Council on Historic Preservation's 36 CFR Part 800 regulations implementing Section 106 of the National Historic Preservation Act.

QuoteHarrisburg, PA – The Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT) announced today there will be short-term closures tomorrow, Tuesday, November 12, at the interim repair project for the Route 462 Columbia-Wrightsville Bridge spanning the Susquehanna River between Columbia in Lancaster County and Wrightsville in York County.

Weather permitting, starting at approximately 10:00 AM Tuesday, November 12, short-term closures of up to 15 minutes will be implemented on the bridge so the contractor can perform bridge jacking on the Wrightsville side of the structure. Delays are expected during the stoppage.

The interim repair project includes repairing bridge beams and strengthening select columns on the west (Wrightsville) half of the bridge.

Vehicle, bike, and pedestrian traffic currently not restricted from using the bridge will be maintained throughout the construction period.

Long-term lane shifts will be in place. One lane of traffic will be open in each direction on the bridge for much of this project. However, there also may be short-term closures and intermittent single lane restrictions under flagging, as needed.

Boaters can avoid under-bridge work locations by following signs placed on the side of the bridge.

CriLon Corp., of Somerset, PA, is the contractor on this $910,780 project. All work is expected to be completed by the end of the year.

A 10-ton weight restriction currently is in place on the bridge. The restriction was implemented last year after a routine inspection uncovered deterioration to the primary load carrying members of the open spandrel concrete arch spans along portions of the bridge. 

This restriction, which was implemented to reduce strain on the bridge and prevent further deterioration, will remain in place after the interim repairs are completed.

QuoteUniontown, PA—Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT) District 12 today announced the reopening of the McCray Robb Bridge, which carries Route 711 (Crawford Avenue) over the Youghiogheny River between First Street and Arch Street in the City of Connellsville, Fayette County.

The bridge, which separates the east and west sides of Connellsville, is a critical component of the community. It originally closed on January 9 to allow the $11.7M infrastructure rehabilitation investment to proceed. Crews replaced the superstructure, widened the roadway, and added a shared-use path, allowing for safe pedestrian and bicycle access. These improvements extend the structure's life, improve safety, and benefit residents' needs.

District Executive Rachel Duda spoke at a ribbon-cutting ceremony hosted by the city this afternoon on Veterans Day. The ceremony was a fitting tribute to the bridge's namesake, McCray Robb, who was not only a courageous Civil War veteran but also a dedicated police officer in Connellsville.

"I extend my heartfelt thanks to all veterans, in addition to honoring the PennDOT civil servants, who brought this new bridge to life," said Duda. Assistant District Executive for Design Jeremy Hughes, Project Manager Gary Ferrari, Assistant District Executive for Construction William Beaumariage, Assistant Construction Engineer Dominic Caruso, and Inspector in Charge Ryan Willby lead the project.

"These committed employees work hard, every day, to improve our lives and our communities in southwestern Pennsylvania with safe and sound transportation infrastructure," said Duda, "I must also thank the City of Connellsville, which was a key collaborator and supportive partner throughout the entire process."

"What made this process so remarkable was how every step kept resources circulating within the community, thanks to the consultants, contractors, and skilled crafts- and tradesmen and women on the job," acknowledged Beaumariage. "From design to raw materials to construction, each dollar invested went back into the local economy, supporting families and businesses in Connellsville."

The lead design firm on the project was Alfred Benesch and Company of Pottsville, the prime contractor was Mosites Construction and Development Company of Pittsburgh, and the prime consultant inspector was CDR Maguire of Warrendale.

Quote Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT) representatives, including PennDOT District 9 District Executive Vince Greenland, District 9 Assistant District Executive for Construction Brad Brumbaugh, and and District 9 Assistant District Executive for Maintenance Dave Kammerer today discussed statewide transportation progress and highlighted this year's active and completed construction projects in Bedford, Blair, Cambria, Fulton, Huntingdon, and Somerset counties. Work in 2024 included paving approximately 137 miles of roadway, seal coating 375 miles, and repairing or replacing 69 bridges.

"The Shapiro Administration has been investing in our communities, responding to emergencies, and supporting safe travel for people and goods across Pennsylvania," PennDOT Secretary Michael Carroll said. "The PennDOT team and our industry partners have made significant progress this year."

Statewide from January through October, 5,385 roadway miles were improved, including 1,941 miles of paving. In the same timeframe, work advanced on 401 state and locally owned bridges. Additionally, 356 construction contracts for highway, bridge, and other improvement projects were completed statewide through PennDOT's private-sector partners so far this year.

Since taking office, Governor Josh Shapiro has secured over $300 million in new infrastructure funding to maintain Pennsylvania's roads and bridges – reducing the Pennsylvania State Police's reliance on the Motor License Fund, delivering more funding for transportation while ensuring our law enforcement officers are sustainably funded.

QuoteHarrisburg, PA – The Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT) announced today that the opening of the Route 72 (Ebenezer Road) bridge spanning Swatara Creek between Jonestown Road in Union Township and New Bunker Hill Road in Swatara Township, Lebanon County, will be delayed.

The bridge, which was closed in April for replacement, will not open on November 20, as previously expected. The bridge now is expected to reopen by the end of December, possibly sooner, depending on weather conditions.

The delay is due to longer than expected utility relocations and a bald eagle nesting restriction that prevented work from being performed at the bridge.

An updated press release will be issued when the bridge opens to traffic.

Susquehanna Valley Construction Corporation of New Cumberland, PA, is the contractor on this $4,961,250 project.

QuoteThe Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT) today marked the completion of the 2024 construction and summer maintenance season and the 95 projects that had active work take place in District 1, which includes Crawford, Erie, Forest, Mercer, Venango, and Warren counties. Work in 2024 included paving nearly 66 miles of roadway, seal coating more than 400 miles, and replacing or repairing 25 bridges.

"The 2024 construction season included a variety of projects that together demonstrate PennDOT's commitment to an overall transportation system that focuses on safety and accessibility for all users," said PennDOT District 1 Executive Brian McNulty. "This includes the Route 318 emergency bridge replacement in Mercer County, preservation of the Niemeyer Road covered bridge in Erie County, projects along Route 6 in Crawford and Warren counties, landslide repairs in Forest County, and paving on Route 322 in Mercer and Venango counties."

Statewide from January through October, 5,385 roadway miles were improved, including 1,941 miles of paving. In the same timeframe, work advanced on 401 state and locally owned bridges. Additionally, 356 construction contracts for highway, bridge, and other improvement projects were completed statewide through PennDOT's private-sector partners so far this year.

Since taking office, Governor Josh Shapiro has secured over $300 million in new infrastructure funding to maintain Pennsylvania's roads and bridges – reducing the Pennsylvania State Police's reliance on the Motor License Fund, delivering more funding for transportation while ensuring our law enforcement officers are sustainably funded.

As of November 7, District 1 has awarded 61 contracts for an estimated investment of more than $150 million, including 21 roadway projects, 21 contracts to replace or repair state-owned bridges, 9 safety projects, and 10 projects for work on locally owned roadways, bridges, and trails. Physical work on some contracts awarded in 2024 will begin in 2025.

"Over the past few years, the staff at PennDOT's northwest region has expanded our scope to look for ways to better leverage grants and other funding opportunities to improve pedestrian and multimodal amenities whether as independent projects or as part of a larger contract," McNulty said. "This can be accomplished only through collaboration with local governments and our planning partners."

In 2024, these types of projects included the following:

Erie Loop Bikeway – Creation of a bike lane on Greengarden Boulevard from 12th Street to 38th Street in the City of Erie. This project is funded through the Surface Transportation Program. The contract cost is $372,222.
Downtown Erie Active Transportation Project – Installation of signs to help pedestrians and cyclist navigate paths throughout the City of Erie. It includes 11 miles along the Bayfront Connector and 16 miles within the city's urban core. The project is funded through a federal Transportation Alternatives Set-Aside (TASA) grant. The contract cost is $429,941.
Union City Pedestrian Improvements – Sidewalk upgrades and installations on Bridge Street, Willow Street and Concord Street. The project is funded through a TASA grant. The contract cost is $449,742.
Kelly Road Bike Path – Improvements to the bicycle and pedestrian route on both sides of the new Kelly Road Bridge in the City of Hermitage and Sharpsville Borough. These are funded in part by the federal Surface Transportation Urban program. The combined contract cost is approximately $1 million.
Springfield Trail – The second phase of the Springfield Township Multimodal Trail Project along Route 208. The project is funded through a TASA grant. The contract cost is $613,333.
Unique funding for multimodal improvements is also included as part of the Route 18-Route 58 Improvement Project near Thiel College in Greenville, the Central Bayfront Parkway Improvement Project in the City of Erie and the Route 6 Reconstruction in Crawford County.

"We already have multimodal projects in the hopper for next year, including the Edinboro pedestrian path and bridge along Route 6, and the sidewalk improvements on East State Street in Sharon," McNulty said. "Local municipal officials should take note, there are funding options available, whether grants or other methods, that may be able to help you complete your multimodal projects, but you need to take that step to apply."

Before the end of the year, District 1 expects to open bids for an additional five contracts worth approximately $9.5 million, including the Edinboro and Sharon projects.

Of the 95 projects with active work this year, 40 were contracts started or awarded prior to 2024.

QuoteThe historic red covered bridge that carries Niemeyer Road over LeBoeuf Creek in Waterford Township, Erie County has reopened to traffic.

The bridge is located on Niemeyer Road between the intersection with East Street and the intersection with Union Road. It is adjacent to the Smith Tract of the French Creek Valley Conservancy.

The bridge is owned and maintained by Waterford Township.

The 85-foot single-lane covered bridge was built in 1875 by brothers Charles and James Phelps with a Town lattice wooden truss design. The trusses are comprised of crisscrossed diagonals, leading to the name lattice truss.

It is one of only 19 such bridges left in Pennsylvania, and likely the only one in the northwest region. Pennsylvania is home to more than 200 covered bridges, most of which are in the southeast portion of the state.

The bridge, which is also known as Brotherton's Bridge and the Old Kissing Bridge, was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1980.

It was closed to traffic in May 2011, due to safety concerns.

In summer 2023, the contract to repair the bridge was awarded to Chivers Construction Company of Fairview. The contract cost is $3,473,690, which is being funded with a combination of state and federal money. The project is funded in part by the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law (BIL).

Construction started in fall 2023 with dismantling the top portion of the wooden bridge for refurbishment offsite. Pieces were evaluated for reuse and repaired or replaced when necessary.

In 2024, work included the construction of new concrete walls, bridge beams and wooden decking to support the historic structure. The lattice wall and overhead trusses were reassembled using wooden dowel pins to match the original design. The wooden roof was covered with a second metal roof to increase the longevity of the refurbished structure. 

The project also included paving the roadway and pull-off location areas on each side of the bridge, as well as updates to the guiderail and pavement markings.

QuoteClearfield, PA – Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT) District 2 Executive Thomas Prestash offered an update on statewide transportation progress and highlighted this year's active and completed projects in Cameron, Centre, Clearfield, Clinton, Elk, Juniata, McKean, Mifflin, and Potter counties.

There were approximately 163 roadway miles paved and 28 bridges rehabilitated, repaired, or replaced by PennDOT and private-industry teams during the 2024 construction season in the nine-county PennDOT region. Additionally, nearly 460 miles were seal coated to preserve roadway surfaces and nearly 9,609 line miles were painted.

"Maintaining a safe and efficient network of highways and bridges is critical to the economic wellbeing of Pennsylvania," said Prestash. "The Shapiro Administration's continued investments allow PennDOT to maintain and expand our transportation infrastructure thus spurring our local economy and enhancing safety for Pennsylvania drivers."

Statewide from January through October, 5,385 roadway miles were improved, including 1,941 miles of paving. In the same timeframe, work advanced on 401 state and locally owned bridges. Additionally, 356 construction contracts for highway, bridge, and other improvement projects were completed statewide through PennDOT's private-sector partners so far this year.

Since taking office, Governor Josh Shapiro has secured over $300 million in new infrastructure funding to maintain Pennsylvania's roads and bridges – reducing the Pennsylvania State Police's reliance on the Motor License Fund, delivering more funding for transportation while ensuring our law enforcement officers are sustainably funded.

QuotePittsburgh, PA – Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT) officials and Senator Jay Costa gathered today for a ribbon cutting ceremony to recognize the opening of the Glenwood Pedestrian Bridge (Route 837) in the City of Pittsburgh and West Homestead Borough, Allegheny County.

Today's ceremony was held in anticipation of the newly constructed bridge's opening. The pedestrian bridge will provide ADA compliant pedestrian access in conjunction with the Glenwood Bridge, between the Hazelwood and Hays neighborhoods in the City of Pittsburgh and West Homestead Borough.

"As a district, we are excited to recognize this major investment in multimodal connectivity in southwestern Pennsylvania," said PennDOT District 11 Executive Jason Zang. "Although most people think of PennDOT as an organization that creates roadways and bridges for car and truck traffic, this is a great reminder of how dedicated the department is to all modes of transportation, including pedestrian safety."

Zang introduced the event with opening remarks regarding the project and the teamwork which occurred to make the project a success. Senator of the 43rd District, Jay Costa also discussed the joint effort and importance of the project for local residents.

"Today's ribbon cutting is incredible cause for celebration. The Glenwood Pedestrian Bridge Project will meaningfully improve the lives of the folks who call this area home, connecting crucial neighborhoods and ensuring our walkers, mobility-aide users, and more can get where they're going safely," said Senator Costa. "I look forward to seeing this bridge get lots of use for years to come."

The discussion was followed by PennDOT and local leaders cutting a ribbon in front of the bridge.

"Impactful projects, such as this one absolutely could not happen without great teamwork," said Zang. "The department sincerely thanks all of our partners for their great efforts, as well as the community for their involvement and patience as we built this structure with them and their commute in mind."

Although unable to attend the event, Congresswoman Summer Lee, City of Pittsburgh Mayor Ed Gainey, and Allegheny County Executive Sara Innamorato expressed their support of the project and teamwork as well.

"Thank you to PennDOT District 11 and all those who played a part in bringing the Route 837 Glenwood Pedestrian Bridge to life. This project is proof of what we can achieve when we prioritize the safety, mobility, and accessibility of our communities. By creating safe and reliable pathways for pedestrians and cyclists, we're opening doors to opportunity, promoting healthier lifestyles, and supporting a sustainable future," said Congresswoman Lee. "Every investment like this one is a step toward a more equitable Western PA, where everyone—regardless of their means or mode of travel—can get where they need to go safely and with dignity."

"Residents who walk will now have a safe and reliable way to move around with the opening of the ADA friendly Glenwood Pedestrian Bridge," said Mayor Gainey. "I would like to thank PennDOT for their hard work in providing this connective access between Hazelwood, Hays and West Homestead neighborhoods."

"This new pedestrian bridge is a critical step toward safer, more accessible routes for everyone in our community," said County Executive Innamorato. "Thanks to PennDOT and local partners, we're making Allegheny County more walkable and connected for all."

The nearly completed $7 million project began in 2023, with work including pedestrian bridge beam erection, concrete deck placement, and railing, fencing, and lighting installation. Additionally, full depth reconstruction of a portion of Baldwin Road, sidewalk improvements, and ADA ramp installation occurred or were part of the project. As the contractor, Gulisek Construction opened the bridge following the event, the overall project is expected to conclude by early December.

This work is park of the Glenwood Interchange project. Previous phases aimed to rehabilitate the structure that carries Mifflin Road over Streets Run Road and replace the bridge deck on Route 885.
