AECOM Technology Corporation announced that it has been awarded a USD 15 million contract by the Pennsylvania Turnpike Commission to reconstruct 4 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. AECOM's dedication to delivering smart and creative solutions on current and past projects for the PTC positioned well for this project.

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 USD 2 billion.
