​Federal Bipartisan Infrastructure Law continues to deliver for Pennsylvanians.

Dunmore, PA – Today, the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT) Engineering District 4, which covers Lackawanna, Luzerne, Pike, Susquehanna, Wayne, and Wyoming counties, highlighted 102 projects anticipated to start during the 2024 construction season, and 99 projects that will continue. The Department anticipates investing more than $276 million this year in the region's infrastructure. Governor Josh Shapiro's commitment to delivering safe highways and bridges across the Commonwealth remains a top priority. These investments support the Shapiro Administration's vision of a safe and reliable transportation network that connects Pennsylvanians to greater opportunity.

Governor Shapiro's 2023-24 budget https://www.shapirobudget.pa.gov/ secured $125 million to fully leverage federal Bipartisan Infrastructure Law (BIL) investments and improve Pennsylvania's roads and bridges. The investment is made possible by decoupling Pennsylvania State Police funding from the Motor License Fund and is the first year of the Governor's four-year proposal to invest an additional $1.25 billion in the state's infrastructure. Statewide in 2023, 684 bridges went out for bid to be repaired, replaced, or preserved and 7,011 roadway miles were improved by department or partner crews.

“A well-maintained transportation system is key to the economic vitality of our state and country," said PennDOT Engineering District 4 Executive Richard N. Roman, P.E. “We are starting 102 new projects this construction season and are continuing to be aggressive with overall highway and bridge maintenance activities."

Overall highlights in the 2024 construction season for District 4 include:

• 140 miles of roadway improvements.
