PA Turnpike Construction Update
Sound barriers are completed and Glenhardie Bridge work continues through the winter.
TREDYFFRIN, PA – Sound wall installation is completed on both sides of the Pennsylvania Turnpike as part of a $117 million project to widen a 2-mile stretch of the turnpike to six lanes at the Valley Forge Interchange, which is milepost 324-326.
The residents had input on the colors and textures of the sound barriers early in the project’s planning stages. The barriers in the Glen Hardie are beige ashlar stone.
The construction on the turnpike is focused on excavating and reconstructing the two eastbound lanes and the median.
