improve
travel along Delaware Avenue between Oregon Avenue to just south of Packer

two
travel lanes from Oregon Avenue to where the highway ends just south of the

Packer Avenue Marine Terminal south gate. A pull-off area for trucks is
also
being constructed at the far southern end of the project to allow trucks to

park off the roadway while waiting to enter the marine terminal.

Work on the project is expected to be completed later this fall.

Tony DePaul and Son of Philadelphia, PA is the general contractor on the
$551,216 project which is financed with 100 percent federal funds.

Governor Wolf Announces Thousands of Roadway Miles Paved, Hundreds of Bridge Projects Initiated this Year

Governor Wolf Announces Thousands of Roadway Miles Paved, Hundreds of
Bridge Projects Initiated this Year

10/27/2017-HARRISBURG

Governor Tom Wolf today announced that so far this year, roughly 2,100
roadway
miles were paved and the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation
(PennDOT)
has also put out contracts to preserve, repair, and replace more than 450
state-owned bridges and 18 locally owned bridges, and also completed 20
bridge
projects with department forces.

The announcement was made in conjunction with an event that PennDOT
Secretary
Leslie S. Richards held today discussing the department's progress with a
portion of the 12.5 miles of Interstate 76 that were recently paved in the
background.

"Our transportation network is critical to moving goods and people, and
we're
committed to continued quality and safety enhancements through our work and

partnerships with the private sector," Governor Wolf said. "We're putting
our
resources to work across the state, in rural and urban communities alike. I

promised my administration would deliver a government that works and
PennDOT is
making good on that."

During her media event, Richards noted that PennDOT has put out 588 total
project contracts worth nearly $1.9 billion so far this year. Richards also

noted that Governor Tom Wolf announced the department's Road Maintenance
and
Preservation, or Road MaP, initiative earlier this year which adds
additional
investments in roadway maintenance, especially on lower-traffic roadways,
as
well as the Interstate system.

The Road MaP investments will build on the department's investments across
the
state. Of the miles paved so far this year, more than 100 were on
Interstates
and more than 960 were on lower-traffic roadways with fewer than 2,000
vehicles
daily.

Across PennDOT's five-county District 6 region, more than 290 miles of
state
highway were resurfaced, 50 more than anticipated, and 39 bridges in Bucks,

Chester, Delaware, Montgomery and Philadelphia counties were repaired or
replaced.

"We would not have been able to successfully deliver this many critical
road
and bridge projects to the region without additional funding from Act 89,"
PennDOT District 6 Executive Kenneth M. McClain said. "Those extra dollars
went
directly into extending the service life of our highways and bridges,
improving
safety and strengthening our infrastructure."

For more information on projects occurring or being bid this year, those
made
possible by or accelerated by the state transportation funding plan (Act
89),
or those on the department's Four and Twelve Year Plans, visit
www.projects.penndot.gov.

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