Construction of this Project is to include four construction sections over seven miles of highway at a total estimated cost of $201,550,000.00

The project is anticipated to consist of two bituminous superpave roadways and bridge construction sections, and two separate bridge sections for the work involving the State Route 202 and Flint Hill Road structures. The bridges will be constructed with steel and prestressed concrete. Their foundations will be built upon spread footings, H-piles and caissons.

Numerous culverts will be rehabilitated and widened throughout the project.

Various retaining walls and sound walls will be constructed.
Other work will include roadway lighting improvements at the Valley Forge Interchange and the installation of fiber optic conductors throughout the length of the project for future IT and communication lines.

A wetland mitigation site will be developed in the vicinity of the Norristown Interchange

Full-time environmental monitoring will be provided during the entire course of the construction.

The administrative work is anticipated to start in May 2004 and terminate in March 2009. Actual construction is anticipated to start in the fall of 2004 and continue through late November 2008.
