(Cranberry Township, PA) A construction project that has taken over two years is now finished in Cranberry Township. According to officials from the Pennsylvania Turnpike (PA Turnpike), $10.4 million worth of improvements along the Cranberry Interchange (Exit 28) are complete. Officials stated that this project is part of the Capital Plan Investment from the PA Turnpike, which puts about $8 billion towards various safety projects over the next ten years and is funded exclusively through payments from tolls. The PA Turnpike confirms that other projects will provide a better travel experience for drivers and reduce congestion. The updates included drainage improvements, guiderail updates, safety enhancements and concrete repair on ramps and bridges. Work on this project began in July of 2023 and last week was when a final inspection was carried out for it. Crews worked to complete this project with CDR Maguire Engineering, The Markosky Engineering Group, Inc. and Whitman, Requardt and Associates, LLC.
