over three miles of Route 100 (Pottstown Boyertown Bypass) between
Farmington
Avenue and the Berks County line in Douglass and Upper Pottsgrove
townships,
Montgomery County, the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT)

four
weeks to mill off the deteriorated riding surface and resurface the
highway.
The resurfacing of Route 100 (Pottstown Boyertown Bypass) is expected to be
completed in late June.
Allan Myers, LP, of Worcester, Montgomery County, is the general contractor
on
the $6,395,555 project that is financed with 100 percent state funds. All
work
on the project is scheduled to finish by late July 2016.

Lane Closures Scheduled on Passyunk Avenue in Philadelphia
Lane Closures Scheduled on Passyunk Avenue in Philadelphia
5/26/2016-KING OF PRUSSIA
The right lane will be closed on the eastbound Honorable Robert C.
Donatucci
Memorial Bridge on Passyunk Avenue between 28th Street and 61st Street in
Philadelphia on Wednesday, June 1, through Friday, June 3, from 7:00 AM to
5:00
PM and on Saturday, June 4, from 7:00 AM to 3:00 PM for the installation of
protective shielding, the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation today
announced.
The work is part of PennDOT's two-year, $33.5 million project to
rehabilitate
and improve the drawbridge over the Schuylkill River in Philadelphia.
The 33-year-old bridge is undergoing construction to enhance the
drawbridge's
mechanical operation and structural condition. PennDOT's contractor is
upgrading the drawbridge by rehabilitating the motors, brakes, locks and
gears,
plus the electrical power, controls, traffic control systems and gates.
Construction crews also will repair and paint structural steel, replace
deteriorated concrete, overlay the bridge deck with latex concrete, replace
expansion joints, reset rocker bearings, repair pedestrian railings, and
clean
and repair the drainage systems.
Currently, the bridge carries three westbound and three eastbound travel
lanes,
and two sidewalks. At the end of construction, the bridge will carry two
westbound and two eastbound travel lanes, two sidewalks, and two
13-foot-wide
shoulders. The reduction in travel lanes resulted from a joint study with
the
City of Philadelphia, which determined that two travel lanes in each
direction
on the bridge would be more consistent with the Passyunk Avenue corridor.
The bridge was built in 1983. The steel-girder bridge has 18-spans,
including
the one-span drawbridge section. The bridge is 2,240 feet long and 92 feet
wide. It carries an average of 20,800 vehicles a day.
Buckley and Company Inc., of Philadelphia, is the general contractor on the
$33,527,470 project. Construction is expected to finish in late 2018. The
project is financed with 80 percent federal and 20 percent state funds.
Motorists can check conditions on more than 40,000 roadway miles by

As part of ongoing efforts to further enhance customer service, PennDOT has launched a new pilot program that authorizes a limited number of third-party businesses to administer non-commercial driving skills tests to Pennsylvania resident permit holders who have successfully met the criteria to obtain a license.

5/26/2016-HARRISBURG
As part of ongoing efforts to further enhance customer service, PennDOT has
launched a new pilot program that authorizes a limited number of
third-party
businesses to administer non-commercial driving skills tests to
Pennsylvania
resident permit holders who have successfully met the criteria to obtain a
license.
Several of these contracted businesses have already begun testing, with all
others expected to be actively testing by the end of this summer.
Commercial
Driver's License skills tests have been conducted at third-party business
testing sites for many years with much success.
The addition of these business partner sites is a true customer service
innovation. Sites were selected based on demand for testing, and are
located in
Allegheny, Butler, Bucks, Carbon, Delaware, Erie, Lancaster and Montgomery
Counties. Visit dmv.pa.gov for more information about third-party testing
locations.
"We are always looking for new ways to enhance the customer experience,"
explained PennDOT Secretary Leslie S. Richards. "Adding these business
partner
sites will give our customers more options when scheduling driving skills
tests."
The third-party non-commercial testing program is an 18-month pilot that
involves ten (10) testing sites throughout the state. PennDOT will provide
close oversight of the participating entities and will perform performance
audits and site visits to ensure compliance with laws and established
policies
designed to ensure new drivers are prepared for the challenges of the road.
While there is no charge for taking a driving skills test at a PennDOT
Driver
License Center, third-party business partners will charge a market driven
fee
for administering the test. All examiners have been PennDOT-certified, and
the
test itself will be identical to what a customer would receive at a Driver
License Center.

Public Invited to Join PennDOT Welcome Centers in Celebrating National Travel and Tourism Week
Public Invited to Join PennDOT Welcome Centers in Celebrating National
Travel and Tourism Week
5/26/2016-HARRISBURG
Pennsylvania's 14 Welcome Centers, which are managed by PennDOT, will
conduct
special programs and promotions to mark National Travel and Tourism Week
from
May 1-7.
"Pennsylvania Welcome Centers serve as attractive gateways to our visitors,
and
their staffs will work with local visitors bureaus and other tourism
industry
members to help promote this special week," said PennDOT Secretary Leslie
S.
Richards. "The events will spotlight local attractions and demonstrate why
tourism is one of Pennsylvania's top industries."
In many cases, Welcome Centers provide the first impression of Pennsylvania
to
out-of-state visitors. Each Welcome Center is a complete travel resource
center
for motorists, offering many free tourism services, such as lodging and
restaurant reservations. In 2015, Pennsylvania Welcome Centers served more
than
3.3 million customers and assisted over 17,000 travelers with lodging
reservations.
"During National Travel and Tourism Week, Welcome Centers spotlight
attractions
from the most popular to 'hidden gems' that make Pennsylvania such a great
place to visit and explore," said Richards. "From Trolley Museum displays
in
Greene County to Smokey the Bear in Fulton County, Welcome Center visitors
will
be able to learn more about tourism hot spots across Pennsylvania."
In addition, Richards noted that visitors will also have the opportunity to
receive free promotional items from state tourism partners and to learn
about
various products made in Pennsylvania.
Pennsylvania's Welcome Centers are open 24 hours a day, and tourism staff
is
available at most locations from 7 AM to 7 PM, seven days a week, including
most holidays.
Pennsylvania's 14 Welcome Centers are at key border locations, including:
• I-90 West, one-half mile past the Pennsylvania/New York border in North
East,
Erie County;
• I-80 East, about one-half mile past the Pennsylvania/Ohio border in West
Middlesex, Mercer County;
• I-70 East, about five miles from the Pennsylvania/West Virginia border in
Claysville, Washington County;
• I-79 North, about five miles past the Pennsylvania/West Virginia border

Travel and Tourism Week
5/26/2016-HARRISBURG
Pennsylvania's 14 Welcome Centers, which are managed by PennDOT, will
conduct
special programs and promotions to mark National Travel and Tourism Week
from
May 1-7.
"Pennsylvania Welcome Centers serve as attractive gateways to our visitors,
and
their staffs will work with local visitors bureaus and other tourism
industry
members to help promote this special week," said PennDOT Secretary Leslie
S.
Richards. "The events will spotlight local attractions and demonstrate why
tourism is one of Pennsylvania's top industries."
In many cases, Welcome Centers provide the first impression of Pennsylvania
to
out-of-state visitors. Each Welcome Center is a complete travel resource
center
for motorists, offering many free tourism services, such as lodging and
restaurant reservations. In 2015, Pennsylvania Welcome Centers served more
than
3.3 million customers and assisted over 17,000 travelers with lodging
reservations.
"During National Travel and Tourism Week, Welcome Centers spotlight
attractions
from the most popular to 'hidden gems' that make Pennsylvania such a great
place to visit and explore," said Richards. "From Trolley Museum displays
in
Greene County to Smokey the Bear in Fulton County, Welcome Center visitors
will
be able to learn more about tourism hot spots across Pennsylvania."
In addition, Richards noted that visitors will also have the opportunity to
receive free promotional items from state tourism partners and to learn
about
various products made in Pennsylvania.
Pennsylvania's Welcome Centers are open 24 hours a day, and tourism staff
is
available at most locations from 7 AM to 7 PM, seven days a week, including
most holidays.
Pennsylvania's 14 Welcome Centers are at key border locations, including:
• I-90 West, one-half mile past the Pennsylvania/New York border in North
East,
Erie County;
• I-80 East, about one-half mile past the Pennsylvania/Ohio border in West

PennDOT to Repair U.S. 30 and Address Sinkhole Activity in West Whiteland Township, Chester County
PennDOT to Repair U.S. 30 and Address Sinkhole Activity in West Whiteland
Township, Chester County
5/26/2016-KING OF PRUSSIA
The Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT) today announced
that
construction will begin Tuesday night, May 31, on a $2.9 million project to
repair U.S. 30 and address sinkhole activity at two locations in West
Whiteland
Township, Chester County.
PennDOT's contractor will reinforce the earth under U.S. 30 in the median
and
parts of the eastbound and westbound inside travel lanes about 2,000 feet
east
of the Business U.S. 30 Interchange, and in the eastbound inside lane and
median approximately 1,000 feet east of the bridge over Clover Mill Road.
Construction is expected to finish in October 2016.
Crews will repair the median area just east of the Business U.S. 30
Interchange
by excavating 15 feet into the earth and replacing the soil above the
bedrock
with pervious concrete. Following this operation, the contractor will
reconstruct and resurface the inside shoulders and parts of the inside
travel
lanes on U.S. 30. The work area is about 120 feet long and 50 feet wide.
Just east of Clover Mill Road, the contractor will drill over 250 holes
into
the eastbound lanes and median and pump grout 55 feet into the earth to
fill
underground voids. An existing underground storm drain pipe also will be
relocated. Upon completing the pressure grouting, crews will resurface the
eastbound lanes and shoulders. The work area covers a distance of 300 feet.
Beginning next week, nighttime lane closures are scheduled on U.S. 30
between
the Business U.S. 30 and Route 100 interchanges from 7:00 PM to 5:00 AM the
following morning for drainage and shoulder resurfacing operations.
Eastbound
U.S. 30 will be reduced to one lane the nights of Tuesday, May 31,
Thursday,
June 2, and Friday, June 3. Westbound U.S. 30 will be restricted to one
lane
Wednesday night, June 1.
The following week, the contractor will work at night to shift U.S. 30's
two
eastbound and westbound travel lanes to the right and away from the median
from
the Business U.S. 30 Interchange to just east of the bridge over Clover
Hill
Road. Lane closures will occur Monday, June 6, to Friday, June 10, from
7:00 PM
to 5:00 AM the following morning. Eastbound U.S. 30 will be reduced to one
lane
the nights of Monday, June 6, Tuesday, June 7, Thursday, June 9, and
Friday,
June 10. Westbound U.S. 30 will be restricted to one lane the nights of
Wednesday, June 8, Thursday, June 9, and Friday, June 10.
The contractor's work schedule is dependent on the weather.
During this multi-stage project, PennDOT will keep two travel lanes open in
each direction on U.S. 30, but motorists will encounter slight traffic
pattern
shifts and off-peak lane closures. The contractor may close travel lanes
weeknights from 7:00 PM to 5:00 AM the following morning, and on weekends.
PennDOT developed this improvement plan following the identification of
sinkholes during the repair of an underground drainage pipe near the Clover
Mill Road overpass in March 2015. Last summer, the department used
ground-penetrating radar to survey areas beneath U.S. 30 where sinkhole
activity was evident and to identify the location of underground voids.
This
information was used for the design of the project.
Road-Con, Inc. of West Chester, Chester County, is the general contractor
on
the project that 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.

Township, Chester County
5/26/2016-KING OF PRUSSIA
The Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT) today announced
that
construction will begin Tuesday night, May 31, on a $2.9 million project to
repair U.S. 30 and address sinkhole activity at two locations in West
Whiteland
Township, Chester County.
PennDOT's contractor will reinforce the earth under U.S. 30 in the median
and
parts of the eastbound and westbound inside travel lanes about 2,000 feet
east
of the Business U.S. 30 Interchange, and in the eastbound inside lane and
median approximately 1,000 feet east of the bridge over Clover Mill Road.
Construction is expected to finish in October 2016.
Crews will repair the median area just east of the Business U.S. 30
Interchange
by excavating 15 feet into the earth and replacing the soil above the
bedrock
with pervious concrete. Following this operation, the contractor will
reconstruct and resurface the inside shoulders and parts of the inside
travel
lanes on U.S. 30. The work area is about 120 feet long and 50 feet wide.
Just east of Clover Mill Road, the contractor will drill over 250 holes
into
the eastbound lanes and median and pump grout 55 feet into the earth to
fill
underground voids. An existing underground storm drain pipe also will be
relocated. Upon completing the pressure grouting, crews will resurface the
eastbound lanes and shoulders. The work area covers a distance of 300 feet.
Beginning next week, nighttime lane closures are scheduled on U.S. 30
between
the Business U.S. 30 and Route 100 interchanges from 7:00 PM to 5:00 AM the
following morning for drainage and shoulder resurfacing operations.
Eastbound
U.S. 30 will be reduced to one lane the nights of Tuesday, May 31,
Thursday,
June 2, and Friday, June 3. Westbound U.S. 30 will be restricted to one
lane
Wednesday night, June 1.
The following week, the contractor will work at night to shift U.S. 30's
two
eastbound and westbound travel lanes to the right and away from the median
from
the Business U.S. 30 Interchange to just east of the bridge over Clover

Road. Lane closures will occur Monday, June 6, to Friday, June 10, from
7:00 PM
to 5:00 AM the following morning. Eastbound U.S. 30 will be reduced to one
lane
the nights of Monday, June 6, Tuesday, June 7, Thursday, June 9, and

New PennDOT Open Data Portal Puts Road, Bridge and Other Transportation Data at Public’s Fingertips
New PennDOT Open Data Portal Puts Road, Bridge and Other Transportation
Data at Public's Fingertips
5/26/2016-HARRISBURG
Less than a month after Governor Tom Wolf announced steps to make
Pennsylvania's data more transparent and accessible to the public, the
Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT) has launched an Open
Data
portal housing data ranging from roadway pavement conditions to rail
facility
locations.
The portal, http://data.pennshare.opendata.arcgis.com/, leverages a GIS
platform used in several states and helps local government, planning and
business partners as well as the public. The data, grouped by roadways,
bridges, rail, facilities, boundaries and projects, can be used for
mapping,
sharing, charting and more.
"At PennDOT we've taken the governor's mission of transparency and customer
service to heart and this is one more way we're demonstrating principles of
a
government that works," PennDOT Secretary Leslie S. Richards said.
"Transportation is vital to our way of life and the more people can use our
data, the better our overall services will be for Pennsylvanians."
The data also offers an opportunity for application developers, students
and
others in private industry to analyze or pursue infrastructure issues and
opportunities, Richards said.
The majority of the available data is updated daily, with some more static
data
such as boundaries, facilities and railway receiving periodic updates. The
site
is compatible with any device or platform.
"State agencies have a wealth of data that can be made open and available
for
others to use," said Secretary of Administration Sharon Minnich, whose
office
is leading the Governor's open data initiative. "The data sets being
published
by PennDOT and others will also become part of a centralized open data
portal
to make it easy for the public to find all the open data available from
state
government."
Data available for PennDOT's construction projects is also used through the
department's projects website, www.projects.penndot.gov, which was launched
last year to increase public information and transparency on active
projects
and those in the department's Four and Twelve Year Plans.
In addition, the public can request access to PennDOT's real-time,
streaming
video from its more than 700 traffic cameras as well as its Road Condition
Reporting System Data, which provides real-time traffic incident, roadwork
and
other data. Information on these feeds is available at www.penndot.gov
under
"Doing Business" by selecting "Online Services" and "Developer Resources."
The site follows the state Department of Conservation and Natural Resources
announcement this month of the availability of their data through the same
GIS
platform, http://data.dcnr.opendata.arcgis.com.
