Bridgeville, PA – At an event today, Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT) District 11 officials highlighted more than 57 projects expected to be bid this year, along with 40 projects that will continue in 2025 in the three-county greater Pittsburgh region. These investments support Governor Shapiro’s vision of a safe and reliable transportation network that connects people to opportunity and each other.
“This increased infrastructure investment in the Pittsburgh region allows us to provide a safe and efficient roadway network,” said District 11 Executive Jason Zang. “We have a lot of exciting and unique projects anticipated to begin this year and we ask motorists to exercise caution through our work zones to ensure the safety of themselves and our workforce.”
In the first two years of the Shapiro administration 12,921 miles of roadway were improved, including 4,708 miles of paving: nearly 900 more miles of roadway improved and over 800 more miles paved than in the previous two years. During the same timeframe, work advanced on 1,172 state and local bridges, compared to 998 during the previous two years. Additionally, under this administration, PennDOT and its industry partners repaired more poor-condition bridges than any other state in the nation in 2023 and improved more miles of roadway than any time in the past decade.
PennDOT will build on this momentum this year and anticipates investing more than $537 million in the region spanning Allegheny, Beaver, and Lawrence counties. This investment includes rehabilitating, reconstructing, and resurfacing 551 miles of highways and working on 43 bridges.
