The project involves the total reconstruction and widening of two miles of the Turnpike’s east-west mainline (Interstate 76) between Milepost 12 and Milepost 14. Upon completion of this project, the existing four-lane facility will be upgraded to include six 12′ travel lanes, three eastbound and three westbound, 12′ shoulders and 10′ medians in each direction. To accommodate the new six lane facility, four early action bridges including two overhead Norfolk Southern railroad bridges were replaced prior to the start the reconstruction of the mainline Turnpike. To date all early action projects have been completed. Construction of the mainline Turnpike and the bridges of the Beaver River are currently in progress with an expected completion date of September 2027.
