Route 228 Corridor Improvement Projects
The Route 228 Corridor Improvement Projects are aimed at updating the safety and efficiency of the route from its intersection with Route 8 to Route 19. The project includes multiple projects such as the Balls Bend Safety Improvement project and the Three Degree Road project.
The Balls Bend Safety Improvement Project on Route 228 in Middlesex Township, Butler County is a major realignment project involving the addition of a travel lane in each direction and a center turn lane. The project also includes the construction of four new structures, realigned local road connections, new signalized intersection, jughandles, stream realignments and other miscellaneous construction. The $55.89 million project is expected to last through January 2025.
The Three Degree Road Project is an improvement project connecting into the five-lane Mars Railroad Project. It addresses numerous driveway access points from the Mars Railroad Project east through the Mars School District area; improves the Three Degree Road intersection; and connects to the Route 228/Balls Bend Project at the eastern limit of the project. The $26.55 million project is anticipated to be complete by late 2026.
