PennDOT will resume construction projects beginning tomorrow.
Officials announced the decision earlier today that highway and bridge construction projects will start again on Friday.
“Our decision to pause construction was not made lightly, and we understand the importance of these projects to communities across Pennsylvania and to our industry partners,” said Acting PennDOT Secretary Yassmin Gramian. “Thanks to the swift, decisive actions of the administration and the cooperation of Pennsylvanians, the curve is starting to flatten and we’re now in a position to restart these important improvements to the transportation network.”
PennDOT had initially paused construction projects statewide on March 17th, except for emergency needs.
PennDOT says that road and bridge construction projects will restart with limited exceptions based on project-specific factors.
