Pennsylvania Turnpike Commission

The Hawk Falls Bridge carrying Interstate 476 over Mud Run is starting to take shape. The open-spandrel deck arch bridge will replace the existing deck truss bridge on a new alignment to the east with an overall span length of 720 feet at a height of 200 feet above the valley. American Geotechnical & Environmental Services, Inc. provided geotechnical design as a subconsultant to Modjeski and Masters for the Pennsylvania Turnpike Commission on this project. The project also includes approximately one mile of roadway reconstruction and another bridge over State Route 534 (Hickory Run Road). This photo captures the bridge under construction from the Hawk Falls Trail within Hickory Run State Park, a scenic trail that enjoys views of rhododendrons and waterfalls.

We applaud Gov. Shapiro and all who made possible the new law that bans the use of hand-held devices while driving. Safety is critical to what we do at the Pennsylvania Turnpike, and today’s bill will make a big difference in improving safety for our workers and customers. It’s even more fitting that today’s signing occurred during our Go Orange campaign, reminding motorists to remove distractions and focus on the road.

Sometimes two unrelated ideas come together in a magical way, and that was Turnpiker Angela Kinney’s inspiration for her children’s book about an otter who learns how to ski. Find out more in Stories from the Turnpike. Link in comments.
