The presentation will be about the Tuscarora Tunnel Rehabilitation project, located in Huntingdon and Franklin Counties. The Pennsylvania Turnpike Commission (PTC), owner and operator of five highway tunnels along the Pennsylvania Turnpike, implemented a major rehabilitation of the eastbound and westbound tubes of the Tuscarora Mountain Tunnel in 2012, with construction beginning in 2019. The rehabilitation design was focused on improvements to eliminate water infiltration, to improve vehicular traffic flow and roadway drainage, to implement fire life safety improvements as recommended by NFPA 502, and to reduce energy usage. Tom will give an overview of this project.
