Dunmore, PA – Today, Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT) Engineering District 4 Executive Richard N. Roman, P.E., discussed statewide transportation progress and highlighted this year's active and completed projects in Lackawanna, Luzerne, Pike, Susquehanna, Wayne, and Wyoming counties.
"We are excited to highlight some important transportation projects that we completed in 2024, as well as those that will continue into next year," said Roman. "These projects demonstrate our ongoing commitment to building, maintaining, and enhancing both major and secondary corridors, allowing travelers to travel safely and efficiently throughout northeast Pennsylvania."
So far this year in the six-county region there were approximately 140 roadway miles of high level paving, 150 bridges rehabilitated, repaired, or replaced by PennDOT and private-industry teams. Additionally, nearly 540 miles were seal-coated to preserve roadway surfaces, 510 bridges were repaired and nearly 10,300 line miles were painted by PennDOT Maintenance forces.
Statewide from January through October, 5,385 roadway miles were improved, including 1,941 miles of paving. In the same timeframe, work advanced on 401 state and locally owned bridges. Additionally, 356 construction contracts for highway, bridge, and other improvement projects were completed statewide through PennDOT's private-sector partners so far this year.
Since taking office, Governor Josh Shapiro has secured over $300 million in new infrastructure funding to maintain Pennsylvania’s roads and bridges – reducing the Pennsylvania State Police’s reliance on the Motor License Fund, delivering more funding for transportation while ensuring our law enforcement officers are sustainably funded.
