    Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT) is working with Beaver County Corporation for Economic Development (BCCED) and the City of Aliquippa on an Alternative Study of the Route 51 Constitution Boulevard and Route 3016 Franklin Avenue interchange. This interchange is located in the City of Aliquippa, Beaver County, Pennsylvania. The alternative study aims to modernize the existing interchange to current design standards.
