    PennDOT Highlights 2022 Construction Season Plans, Bipartisan Infrastructure Law Benefits

    June 10, 2022

    ​With construction and maintenance work underway across Pennsylvania, we recently outlined 2022 plans in each of PennDOT's 11 engineering districts. Each region's benefits from the federal Bipartisan Infrastructure Law (BIL) were also highlighted.

    The BIL will provide at least $608.5 million in additional investment this year, supporting and accelerating many projects. The department anticipates putting out contracts for $2.5 billion in work this year, complementing work completed every day by department crews.

    Following are the announcements of investments, BIL impacts, and key ongoing and anticipated projects across our regions. To keep your finger on the pulse of PennDOT news near you, subscribe to news from the applicable region.

    District 1

    In PennDOT's District 1 (Crawford, Erie, Forest, Mercer, Venango, and Warren counties), 90 projects are anticipated to continue or be awarded this year, worth more than $299 million. Work plans for the 2022 construction season call for improvements to approximately 177 miles of roadway and the replacement or repair of 24 bridges, including 15 in poor condition and two historic bridges that are being preserved and repurposed. 

    In 2022 alone the BIL is bringing nearly $20.5 million in additional funding for projects in PennDOT's northwest region. The funds will be used by the department and its planning partners.

    The BIL means more money for the local transportation system too. Starting in 2023, PennDOT will dedicate $1.05 million of the BIL funding to locally owned bridge projects in the northwest region each year. This increases PennDOT's District 1 annual investment in local bridges to $5.4 million through 2026.
