Description | A proposal to reroute the Pennsylvania Turnpike by constructing a new roadway atop the Allegheny Mountain ridge. The project is in the preliminary engineering phase and has been on the drawing board for 30 years. The commission estimates the cost could reach $500 million, with a more solid estimate expected after preliminary engineering completion in 2028. Opponents suggest adding a third lane to an existing mountain tunnel instead of building a new roadway. |
