Clearfield, PA – Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT) District 2 Executive Thomas Prestash offered an update on statewide transportation progress and highlighted this year's active and completed projects in Cameron, Centre, Clearfield, Clinton, Elk, Juniata, McKean, Mifflin, and Potter counties.
There were approximately 163 roadway miles paved and 28 bridges rehabilitated, repaired, or replaced by PennDOT and private-industry teams during the 2024 construction season in the nine-county PennDOT region. Additionally, nearly 460 miles were seal coated to preserve roadway surfaces and nearly 9,609 line miles were painted.
“Maintaining a safe and efficient network of highways and bridges is critical to the economic wellbeing of Pennsylvania," said Prestash. “The Shapiro Administration's continued investments allow PennDOT to maintain and expand our transportation infrastructure thus spurring our local economy and enhancing safety for Pennsylvania drivers."
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.
