Clearfield, PA – At an event today, Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT) Secretary Mike Carroll and District 2 officials highlighted more than 60 projects expected to bid this year in the nine-county region, reflecting an estimated investment of $378 million. Governor 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 secured $125 million to fully leverage federal Bipartisan Infrastructure Law 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.
“This administration’s commitment to investing in our infrastructure coupled with BIL funding helps manage our existing assets while still starting new construction that connects our rural areas with metropolitan centers, said PennDOT Secretary Mike Carroll. “This ensures a safe an efficient transportation for all Pennsylvanians and spurs economic growth.
Overall highlights of the 2024 construction season for District 2, which covers Cameron, Centre, Clearfield, Clinton, Elk, Juniata, McKean, Mifflin, and Potter counties, include:
