Drinking Water Distribution System PennDOT I-83 Expansion DW Impacts
Background:
PennDOT is undertaking an Interstate 83 (I-83) Master Plan to widen and improve the interstate in the Harrisburg area. The I-83 East Shore Section 3 Project limits stretch from the Susquehanna River to 29th Street. The proposed improvements include widening the I-83 corridor to three mainline lanes in each direction with additional lanes providing access to upgraded interchanges via a collector-distributor system. The I-83 Expansion Project will be divided into 3 contracts and construction will occur over the next 10 years.
Project Purpose:
Abandon, relocate, and replace water mains and isolation valves in conflict with the PennDOT I-83 Expansion Project.
Project Summary:
The total project will result in at least 50 conflicts with CRW utilities which must be relocated or adjusted and incorporated into the PennDOT project. A portion of the 1880s water main in Cameron St will also be replaced as part of the project.
The project will be financed by PayGo.
