Municipalities to Receive Nearly $445.3 Million in Liquid Fuels Payments, 16 Percent Increase from Previous Year

Municipalities to Receive Nearly $445.3 Million in Liquid Fuels Payments,
16 Percent Increase from Previous Year

2/29/2016-KING OF PRUSSIA

Pennsylvania's transportation plan, Act 89, will allow the Pennsylvania
Department of Transportation (PennDOT) to distribute nearly $445.3 million
in
liquid fuels payments to certified municipalities on March 1 to help them
maintain their roads and bridges.
This distribution marks a $64 million, or 16 percent, increase over the
$381
million distributed in 2015. In 2013, before Act 89 was enacted,
municipalities
received $320.8 million in liquid fuels payments.

"While Pennsylvania has the fifth-largest state-maintained road system in
the
country, we also have a vast network of locally maintained roads," PennDOT
Secretary Leslie S. Richards said. "These funds are essential to
communities
across the state as they preserve and improve these vital connections to
the
state highway and bridge network."

Liquid fuels allocations are annual payments to municipalities to help pay
for
highway and bridge-related expenses such as snow removal and road repaving.

There are 120,039 miles of public roads in Pennsylvania, with 72,759 of
those
miles owned by municipalities and eligible for liquid fuels. The formula
for
payments is based on a municipality's population and miles of locally-owned

roads.

To be counted as eligible for liquid fuels, a roadway must be formally
adopted
as a public street by the municipality, meet certain dimension requirements
and
be able to safely accommodate vehicles driving at least 15 mph.

For the complete list of local payments, visit the "Municipal Liquid Fuels
Program" page at www.penndot.gov under the "Doing Business" Local
Government
page.

PennDOT to Rehabilitate Kansas Road Bridge in Warrington Township

PennDOT to Rehabilitate Kansas Road Bridge in Warrington Township

2/23/2016-KING OF PRUSSIA

Construction is scheduled to begin Monday, March 7 to rehabilitate the
county-owned Kansas Road bridge over Little Neshaminy Creek in Warrington
Township, Bucks County, the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation
(PennDOT)
today announced.

Kansas Road will be closed and detoured between Redstone Drive and
Forsythia
Drive from Monday, March 7 through June 2016 while crews replace the
deteriorated bridge deck and beams. During construction, Kansas Road
through
traffic will be detoured over Route 611 (Easton Road), Titus Avenue and
County
Line Road.

The single-span, prestressed adjacent box beam bridge was built in 1979. It
is
37 feet long and 36 feet wide. It carries 400 vehicles a day. The bridge is

posted with a 27-ton weight limit.

The improvement of the Kansas Road bridge is part of a $2.3 million project
to
rehabilitate five structurally deficient bridges - four township owned and
one
county owned, in Bucks County. This local bridge improvement project was
enabled through Act 89 legislation, Pennsylvania's transportation plan.

In addition to Kansas Road, PennDOT's contractor will replace the
superstructures (bridge decks and beams) on the Willow Road bridge over
Ironworks Creek in Northampton Township; Moyer Road bridge over Pleasant
Creek
in Hilltown Township; Alden Avenue bridge over Rock Run in Falls Township;
and
Springfield Street bridge over SEPTA rail tracks in Springfield Township.

H&K Group, Inc., of Skippack, Montgomery County, is the general contractor
on
the $2,353,598 project. The rehabilitation of the five bridges is expected
to
be completed in late 2016. The project is financed with 100 percent state
funds.

Motorists can check conditions on more than 40,000 roadway miles by
visiting
www.511PA.com. 511PA, which is free and available 24 hours a day, provides
traffic delay warnings, weather forecasts, traffic speed information and
access
to more than 770 traffic cameras.

511PA is also available through a smartphone application for iPhone and
Android
devices, by calling 5-1-1, or by following regional Twitter alerts

Creek in Lower Merion Township. Construction on the Violet Lane bridge over
the
east branch of Indian Creek in Lower Merion Township, Montgomery County,
began
Monday, February 22.

J.D. Eckman, Inc., of Atglen, Chester County, is the general contractor on

PennDOT Reopens Aston Mills Road Bridge in Aston Township

PennDOT Reopens Aston Mills Road Bridge in Aston Township

2/18/2016-KING OF PRUSSIA

The Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT) today opened the
newly
rehabilitated bridge carrying Aston Mills Road over Chester Creek in Aston
Township, Delaware County.

"We are excited to complete the restoration of this former structurally
deficient bridge on Aston Mills Road as this structure now will provide
motorists with a safe and secure crossing over Chester Creek for decades to

come," PennDOT District Executive Kenneth M. McClain said.

PennDOT's contractor began construction last July on the $2 million project
to
restore the structurally deficient Aston Mills Road bridge by replacing the

deck, beams, bearings, parapets, and guiderail; installing new concrete
approach slabs; and reconstructing the roadway approaches to the bridge.

The steel-beam bridge, which was built in 1965, is no longer classified as
structurally deficient following the completion of construction. The
one-span
bridge is 60 feet long and 43 feet wide and carries an average of 6,486
vehicles a day.

The Aston Mills Road bridge was one of two bridges that PennDOT
rehabilitated
under a $6.6 million bridge improvement project. On November 25, 2015,
PennDOT
reopened the bridge carrying Linfield Road over the Schuylkill River in
East
Coventry Township, Chester County, and Limerick Township, Montgomery
County,
following its rehabilitation.

J. D. Eckman, Inc. of Atglen, Pa., was the general contractor on the
project,
which was financed with 100 percent state funds.

Motorists can check conditions on more than 40,000 roadway miles by

PennDOT, State Police Highlight Highway Safety Laws to Increase Awareness, Safety

PennDOT, State Police Highlight Highway Safety Laws to Increase Awareness,
Safety

2/18/2016-KING OF PRUSSIA

Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT) Secretary Leslie S.
Richards and State Police Commissioner Tyree Blocker today urged drivers to

review and obey driver safety laws that can often be overlooked.

"We look to create awareness surrounding laws that drivers may not pay
attention to, but also to provide reminders as to what each law entails,"
Secretary Richards said. "PennDOT and the Pennsylvania State Police feel it
is
important to raise awareness through education and outreach, but to also
spark
conversation via social media."

Ahead of the state's Highway Safety Law Awareness week, which runs from
February 21-27, the agencies provide the following reminders:
•The "4 Foot Bicycle Law" requires drivers to pass a bicycle at a distance
of
"not less than four feet" at a careful and prudent speed. The law also
permits
drivers to cross the center line during this process if safely able to do
so.
No turn by a driver should interfere with a bicycle proceeding straight.

•"Obey Traffic Signals" focuses on driver safety due to hazardous
conditions.
Drivers who drive around or through traffic control devices closing a road
or
highway could receive a $250 fine and two points on their driving record.

•"Teen Seat Belt Law" requires that the driver and all passengers under the
age
of 18 must wear a seat belt anywhere in the vehicle. Also, drivers under 18
may
not operate a vehicle where the number of passengers exceeds the number of
available seat belts.

•"Increased fines in work zones" urges motorists to be aware when passing
through an active work zone. Anyone violating the posted speed limit by
more
than five miles per hour will face doubled fines. The fine is determined
based
on the amount the driver is traveling over the speed limit. A recent
amendment
of the law also states that any driver who causes serious bodily injury
within
a work zone could face up to $5,000 in fines and a six-month license
suspension. A driver causing a death within a work zone would face up to a
$10,000 fine and one-year license suspension.

"It is important that every driver on Pennsylvania's roadways is familiar
with
the laws as they relate to operating a vehicle," Colonel Blocker said.
"This
familiarity can go a long way towards keeping yourself and others safe
while
behind the wheel."

Join the conversation on social media using #PATrafficLaw on Twitter and
Facebook.

PennDOT to Improve Route 32 (River Road) by Replacing Deteriorated Retaining Wall in Solebury Township

PennDOT to Improve Route 32 (River Road) by Replacing Deteriorated
Retaining Wall in Solebury Township

2/17/2016-KING OF PRUSSIA

Construction will begin Monday, February 29 on a $3.9 million project to
improve travel and safety on Route 32 in Solebury Township, Bucks County,
by
replacing a 1,300-foot-long deteriorated retaining wall and rebuilding the
state roadway in the area of the wall, Pennsylvania Department of
Transportation (PennDOT) said today.

PennDOT's contractor will restore the structural stability of Route 32
(River
Road) between the intersections of Paxson Road and Laurel Road by building
a
new retaining wall made of concrete panels and steel piles to replace the
existing wall, which has been severely damaged by several flooding storms.
In
addition, crews will reconstruct and resurface 1,450 feet of Route 32
(River
Road); improve drainage by installing 24 new storm inlets and more than
1,200
feet of storm sewers; replace two existing drain pipes; construct four
storm
water outlets; install curb along the retaining wall; and add new guide
rail
and traffic signs.

Route 32 (River Road) will be closed and detoured between Cuttalossa Road
and
Laurel Road beginning February 29. The road is scheduled to reopen in June
2016. A posted detour will take passenger vehicles over Route 263 (Upper
York
Road), Aquetong Road, and Greenhill Road. Trucks will be detoured over U.S.
202
and Route 611 (Easton Road. Local access will be maintained up to the
construction area on Route 32 (River Road).

H & K Group, Inc., of Skippack, Montgomery County, is the general
contractor on
the $3,960,852 project. This transportation improvement project is financed

with 100 percent state funds.
