PROJECT INFORMATIONThe Pennsylvania Turnpike Commission (PTC) and its consultants welcome you to tonight’s Open House Plans Display for the Total Reconstruction and Widening Project between mileposts 311 (Downingtown) and 319 (Route 29 EZ PassOnly Interchange) on the Turnpike’s main line (I-76).
The PTC will invest $175 million toll dollars in this section of I-76 which carries 50,000 vehicles per day through the Townships of Upper Uwchlan, Uwchlan, West Pikeland, and Charlestown. When completed, the existing four-lane roadway will be reconstructed to accommodate six 12-foot travel lanes (three lanes in each direction) with 12-foot inside and outside shoulders. In advance of the reconstruction and widening project, three overhead bridges are being replaced.
The PTC is committed to plan, design and reconstruct the PA Turnpike to address current safety needs, modern design standards, customer impacts, and future traffic volumes, all in a manner which extends the time between necessaryhighway maintenance. These efforts will result in a smoother and safer road with fewer traffic delays and disruptions. On average, the PTC reconstructs 13 miles of turnpike per year, at costs of $15-$30 million per mile.
This 8-mile reconstruction and widening project is anticipated to go into construction in late 2016, once the preliminary plans you see this evening are refined into final design and construction documents. The construction work will proceed in three sequential and overlapping phases until the Fall of 2022.
The materials presented this evening will be posted on the PTC’s website.
NOISE ANALYSISThis station provides aerial views of the project corridor showing noise monitoring locations and the proposed locations
study conducted for the full-depth reconstruction and widening project and was conducted in compliance with Federal Highway Administration regulations and the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation criteria. The study is available for review at this station and noise mitigation experts are on hand to answer your questions. The study will be available on the project website next week.
RIGHT-OF-WAYThe PTC is committed to making the process of any right-of-way acquisitions as simple as possible for all property owners who may be impacted. If your property is shown as being impacted on the roadway plans, please visit the right-of-way station for information on the property acquisition process, including how compensation amounts are determined and the typical timeframe for purchase of a total or partial property acquisition.
PUBLIC OUTREACH AND COMMENT AREAWe want your feedback! Please complete a comment form this evening and drop it in the comment box. This station also provides the various ways you can stay informed of project updates and contact the Project Team.

ROADWAY PLANSPreliminary engineering plans for the entire 8-mile project area are on display at this station. These plans include the 6-lane roadway design, bridge replacements, areas of required right-of-way, environmental features, proposed sound barriers, retaining walls, and stormwater management locations.
OVERHEAD BRIDGE REPLACEMENTS AND DETOUR PLANS
• Bodine Road Bridge (milepost 315.9, completed Fall 2010)• Valley Hill Road Bridge (milepost 316.6, completed November 2013)• Yellow Springs Road Bridge (milepost 317.4, construction planned Spring 2015 - Fall 2015)
TONIGHT’S MEETINGThe purpose of tonight’s meeting is to present the preliminary engineering plans for the MP 311-319 reconstruction and widening project, show the bridges to be replaced with associated detours, identify environmental and property impacts, display proposed sound barrier and stormwater management locations and provide a preliminary construction schedule. Project team members will be available throughout the meeting to discuss the project details and answer your questions.
MATERIALS ON DISPLAYPreliminary engineering plans and other supplemental data are available at various stations for your review. Project team
PROJECT DESCRIPTION, TYPICAL SECTIONS AND PRELIMINARY CONSTRUCTION SCHEDULEVisit this station to learn about the planned construction schedule and to view renderings of the existing and proposed roadway sections. Please note that at this early stage, the time frames shown on the project schedule are approximate and
PROJECT AREA
The project area begins just south of the Fretz Road Bridge and continues to just north of the Clump Road Bridge. These seven miles of the PA Turnpike’s Northeastern Extension will be completely reconstructed and widened from 2 to 3 lanes in each direction with widened shoulders on both sides. The project spans three townships within Montgomery County: Lower Salford, Franconia and Salford Townships.
As part of this project the following three bridges are being replaced to accommodate the widening:
The Yellow Springs Road Bridge will be closed and traffic will be detoured from Spring - Fall 2015. The planned detour route . as well as existing and proposed typical sections for each bridge are on display at this station.
