I-95, PA Turnpike link approved; Work starts in June




It’s been talked about for years but now it appears to be finally coming to fruition.

A direct connection between I-95 and the Pennsylvania Turnpike could become a reality after the approval of $155 million worth of work on the $420 million project.

Here’s more from the Philadelphia Inquirer:

The Delaware Valley Regional Planning Commission, which oversees federal and state funding for transportation projects in the Philadelphia region, agreed to separate the $155 million project to allow work to start in June.

The $155 million will pay for widening and reconstructing about four miles of the turnpike in Bristol Township where the connection with I-95 will be built. It will also pay for building three new turnpike bridges and installing the piers for the flyover ramps for the connection.
