Weekly Announcements for February 28, 2017
Governor Wolf Outlines Plan to Invest Additional $2.1 Billion for Highways and Bridges Through New Road MaP Program
Governor Wolf Outlines Plan to Invest Additional $2.1 Billion for Highways
and Bridges Through New Road MaP Program
2/28/2017-HARRISBURG
Today, Governor Tom Wolf announced plans for the Pennsylvania Department of
Transportation (PennDOT) to invest more than $2 billion in roadway
maintenance
and highway and bridge capital projects over the next 10 years through its
new
Road Maintenance and Preservation (Road MaP) program.
"We've made significant progress on our roadway and bridge needs and the
Road
MaP program will amplify our efforts statewide," said Governor Wolf. "We're
bringing an even bigger focus to our interstates and to the lower-volume
roads
where many Pennsylvanians live and work."
The investments are being made possible due to legislative action in 2016
which
caps the expenditures from the Motor License Fund going toward the State
Police
budget beginning with the 2018-19 budget and concluding with the 2027-28
budget. The program will see an additional estimated $63 million in the
2017-18
state fiscal year through Governor Wolf's budget proposal of a $25 per
capita
fee for municipalities with exclusive State Police enforcement coverage.
Of the capital-project investments, $500 million will be allocated to an
Interstate preservation and reconstruction program, bringing that total
program, begun in 2016, to $1 billion over the next 10 years. Another $600
million will go toward rehabilitation and reconstruction needs identified
through the department's district and regional planning efforts.
Another piece of Road MaP is aggressively addressing relatively low-volume
roads with a reinvigorated initiative to use recycled asphalt to preserve
and
upgrade the condition of these roads. Recycled Asphalt Paving (RAP), which
repurposes materials from projects onto other roadways by mixing ground
millings with oil, allows the department to pave less-traveled roads that
otherwise wouldn't be paved, or to reinforce roadway shoulders.
RAP is an environmentally conscious method that saves the need to purchase
new
material, stretching dollars to impact more miles of secondary roadways. In
PennDOT's northwest region where RAP is being deployed, they estimate
roughly
$5.4 million in annual savings due to RAP usage. RAP will be an increased
focus
with PennDOT forces in Armstrong and Berks counties in 2017, with expanded
usage occurring in 2018.
"Our county staff have aggressively managed their budgets over the past
decade
to maximize maintenance dollars and Road MaP will allow us to better
complement
the vital work of our private-sector partners to improve our transportation
system," PennDOT Secretary Leslie S. Richards said.
The savings achieved through county staff's innovation and efficiency
efforts
have laid the groundwork for Road MaP to make the biggest impact with
department and private-sector work. Roughly 75 percent of the department's
total highway and bridge investments go to the private sector and Road
MaP's
maintenance component ensures that department forces and industry partners
can
continue and expand vital maintenance improvements.
Road MaP addresses large needs on the 40,000 PennDOT-maintained miles.
Specifically, the Interstate program will address the issue of more than
half
of the state's Interstates being out of cycle for reconstruction, which
should
be considered every 40 years. Of the 2,691 department-maintained Interstate
bridges, nearly 40 percent have exceeded their original 50-year design life
and
44 of them are older than 65 years.
In addition, of the roughly 18,000 miles of PennDOT-owned, low-volume
roadways,
24 percent haven't had structural resurfacing in more than 20 years. Of the
PennDOT-maintained roads that aren't Interstates or on the National Highway
System, 27 percent are rated as "poor" on the International Roughness
Index,
which rates pavement smoothness.
The department estimates that Interstate reconstruction costs roughly $2.6
million per lane mile, or $5.2 million if the segment mile of Interstate
has
two lanes. Resurfacing one mile of two lanes of interstate in one direction
of
travel costs roughly $1 million. On lower-volume roads, per-mile costs are
roughly $24,700 to seal coat, $101,400 to resurface and $910,000 to
rehabilitate.
"We're well aware that many Pennsylvanians are dealing with very old roads
that
sorely need repairs, and Road MaP is one way that we're going to fix our
connections within communities and to other states," Richards said. "With
this
initiative we're telling our customers that we're using these new
investments
to better maintain and preserve our massive roadway system – the
fifth-largest
in the country."
Road MaP, with its additional resources making more contracts and
department
maintenance work possible, means that all maintenance projects listed in
Act
89's Decade of Investment will be completed by 2028. As of late February,
more
than 70 percent of projects accelerated or made possible by Act 89 were
completed, are underway, or are on the department's four or 12 year plans.
The
projects are viewable at www.projects.penndot.gov.
More information on Road MaP is available at www.penndot.gov on the "Act 89
Transportation Plan" page.

PennDOT to Rehabilitate Eight Bridges over I-95 in the City of Chester,
Delaware County
2/28/2017-KING OF PRUSSIA
The Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT) will start
construction
Tuesday, March 14, on a $16.6 million project to rehabilitate eight bridges
over Interstate 95 and CSX Railroad in the City of Chester, Delaware
County,
plus improvements on Chestnut Street and Morton Avenue in the city. The
project
is scheduled to be completed in November 2018.
Construction on the first bridge over I-95 will begin Tuesday, March 14,
with
the rehabilitation of the Crosby Street pedestrian bridge. Due to nature of
the
bridge repairs, Crosby Street will be closed to pedestrians between 12th
Street
and 13th Street for the duration of construction which is scheduled to
finish
in mid-October 2017. Pedestrians will be directed to use the Edgmont Avenue
bridge to cross over I-95.
In addition to rehabilitating the Crosby Street bridge, PennDOT will
rehabilitate and improve the multi-span, steel girder bridges on Potter
Street,
Madison Street, Upland Street, Melrose Avenue, Chestnut Street, Edgmont
Avenue,
and the Walnut Street pedestrian structure. The contractor will also
improve
the I-95 south exit ramp at Chestnut Street.
The contractor will repair the concrete bridge decks on seven structures
and
replace the concrete deck on the Potter Street bridge. Crews will also
place a
new concrete overlay on the bridges; repair piers and support abutments;
replace fencing on the bridge parapets; repair curbs and sidewalks; install
new
expansion joints; paint structural steel; reset bridge bearings; clean
bridge
drainage systems; repair existing lights; and perform other miscellaneous
repairs.
PennDOT owns the Edgmont Avenue and Madison Avenue bridges, and the City of
Chester owns the remaining six structures.
Each bridge will close during construction as will the I-95 south exit ramp
at
Chestnut Street when construction begins on that section. The department
will
not permit the contractor to close certain bridges simultaneously, and it
will
post detours to move motorists and pedestrians around the closed spans.
Depending on the bridge under construction, lane restrictions will occur on
I-95 weeknights from 10:00 PM to 5:00 AM the following morning, and on
Saturdays and Sundays from 9:00 PM to 5:00 AM the following morning.
In addition to the bridge and ramp improvements, crews will repair Chestnut
Street and Morton Avenue from 12th Street to 4th Street. The plan is to
reconstruct curbs and sidewalks; mill and resurface the streets; install a
new
traffic signal at Chestnut Street and Morton Avenue; and upgrade the
traffic
signal at Morton Avenue and 7th Street. The contractor will reconstruct
Morton
Avenue from 7th Street to 4th Street to lower the road under the Amtrak
overpass to increase vertical clearance from 12 feet 9 inches to 13 feet 9
inches.
South State, Inc. of Bridgeton, N.J. is the general contractor on the
$16,668,238 project which is financed with 100 percent state funds.

Municipalities to Receive Nearly $466.2 Million to Invest in Local Roads, 5 Percent Increase from Previous Year
Municipalities to Receive Nearly $466.2 Million to Invest in Local Roads, 5
Percent Increase from Previous Year
2/27/2017-HARRISBURG
Pennsylvania's far-reaching transportation plan, Act 89, will allow the
Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT) to distribute nearly
$466.2
million in liquid fuels payments to certified municipalities on March 1 to
help
them maintain their roads and bridges.
This distribution marks a $20.9 million, or 5 percent, increase over the
$445.3
million distributed in 2016. In 2013, before Act 89 was enacted,
municipalities
received $320.8 million in liquid fuels payments.
"The funds received through liquid fuels payments are critical to the
preservation and improvement of our vast network of locally maintained
roads,"
said PennDOT Secretary Leslie S. Richards. "They are essential to
communities
for the upkeep of these vital connections to the state highway and bridge
network."
Liquid fuels allocations are annual payments to municipalities to help pay
for
expenses such as snow removal and road repaving. There are 120,091 miles of
public roads in Pennsylvania, with 72,856 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.

restrictions are scheduled on College Avenue between Walton Lane and
Haverford
Road in Haverford Township, Delaware County, on Monday, February 27,
through
Friday, March 3, from 9:00 AM to 3:00 PM, for drainage installation and
line
painting. Traffic will be controlled by flagging.
The work is part of PennDOT's $5.2 million project to replace the
structurally-deficient College Avenue bridge over SEPTA railroad tracks and
the
adjacent culvert over Cobbs Creek.
PennDOT's contractor will work over the next year to replace the two-span
concrete encased steel beam bridge with a one-span composite pre-stressed
concrete box beam structure and construct a new precast reinforced concrete
arch culvert. The project is scheduled to finish in November 2017.
The project also includes improvements to the traffic signals at the
intersection of College Avenue and Haverford Road, and the addition of left
turn lanes on College Avenue at this intersection.
The new structure over SEPTA tracks will be 42 feet wide and 58 feet long.
It
will have two 11-foot travel lanes and a 10-foot left turn lane. It will
also
have a five-foot sidewalk on the west side of the structure and a two-foot
shoulder on the east side.
The new concrete arch culvert will be 42 feet wide and 24 feet long. It
will
have two 11-foot travel lanes and a 10-foot painted center gore area. It
will
also feature a five-foot sidewalk on the west side of the structure and a
two-foot shoulder on the east side.
The existing two-span bridge over SEPTA was built in 1931. It is 42 feet
wide
and 63 feet long. The structure carries an average of 4,637 vehicles a day.
The
one-span concrete arch culvert over Cobbs Creek was built in 1924. It is 30
feet wide and 16 feet long.
Road-Con, Inc. of West Chester, Chester County, is the general contractor
on
the $5,240,145 project that is financed with 100 percent state funds.
