PTC Total Reconstruction MP 199-213

As part of their on-going efforts to modernize and update their roadway infrastructure, the Pennsylvania Turnpike Commission identified the section of Mainline between Mileposts 199.30 and 213.83 for a total roadway reconstruction. This section lies within Franklin and Cumberland Counties in southcentral Pennsylvania and includes the Blue Mountain Interchange.

As a subconsultant to KCI Technologies, Inc., Gibson-Thomas provided:

  • Stream surveys and hydrologic and hydraulic analyses for 25 structures
  • Three stream relocation designs
  • Drainage designs
  • Stormwater management designs
  • Erosion and sedimentation control plans
  • PADEP Joint Permit and NPDEPS permit preparation for seven miles of the corridor
  • Structural design for the extension or replacement of 20 reinforced concrete arch culverts and one slab bridge
  • DARWin pavement design
  • Utility coordination

As part of the reconstruction, the existing 10-foot median was reconstructed to 46 feet to incorporate a 3rd travel lane in each direction.

Construction of the last section within of this corridor was completed in 2019.
