AECOM to Provide Design Services for Pennsylvania Turnpike Reconstruction

The $15-million turnpike contract includes widening a 4-mile section from four to six lanes and reconstructing six bridges

AECOM Technology Corporation, a provider of professional technical and management support services for public and private clients in more than 130 countries around the world, announced it has been awarded a $15-million contract by the Pennsylvania Turnpike Commission (PTC) to reconstruct four miles of the turnpike mainline near Morgantown.

The AECOM team will provide design services involving all aspects of project delivery from preliminary engineering through final design, including environmental documentation, roadway and structure plans, hydrologic and hydraulics reports, permit applications, traffic-control plans, utility-clearance documentation and right-of-way plans.

The section of the turnpike will be widened from four lanes to six, and the Morgantown interchange, along with six bridges, will be reconstructed.

The project is part of the PTC’s capital program to maintain roadways and relieve traffic congestion along key stretches of the highway. More than 100 miles of the highway have already been rebuilt with a total design and construction value of approximately $2 billion.

AECOM is a global provider of professional technical and management support services to a broad range of markets, including transportation, facilities, environmental, energy, water and government.
