Company to design improvements for Interstate
76 corridor
Jacobs Engineering Group Inc. (NYSE:JEC) was awarded a ten-year,
multi-million dollar contract from the Pennsylvania Department of
Transportation (PennDOT) to design a long-range, comprehensive,
multi-modal transportation management solution to improve travel
along the Interstate 76 (Schuylkill Expressway) Corridor in the
Philadelphia metropolitan area.
Jacobs will provide systems engineering and alternatives
analysis, preliminary engineering, final design, right-of-way
acquisition services and construction consultation to provide
improvements on I-76 and supporting arterials between the
Pennsylvania Turnpike (I-276) and US Route 1 interchanges to enable
active traffic management. These improvements may include junction
control, dynamic lane assignments, part-time shoulder use, ramp
metering, multi-modal enhancements, connected vehicle applications,
variable speed limit signs and queue detection/warning
components.
“The importance of this corridor to the Philadelphia region
cannot be overstated,” said PennDOT’s Secretary of Transportation
Leslie S. Richards. “It’s imperative that we take advantage of new
technologies and partner with Southeastern Pennsylvania
Transportation Authority and other key stakeholders and partners
like Jacobs to offer citizens better options for travel between
Philadelphia and the northwest suburbs.”
“The proposed upgrades to the Schuylkill Expressway represent
the convergence of innovative technology and infrastructure that
will directly improve the quality of life for the commuting public
in the Philadelphia metropolitan region,” said Jacobs’ Buildings
& Infrastructure President, Bob Pragada. “PennDOT has entrusted
Jacobs to help create forward-focused, flexible yet practical
travel solutions for this region, drawing on our broad
transportation capabilities and experience from across the
world.”
