Interchange 28 to US 130 (NJ), and portions of I-95 AQ Code 2015/20 Bristol Twp. New full interchange, related widening, and new toll plazas. This is a major Interstate gap completion project which will establish continuity of the Interstate system by joining together I-95 and I-276 in Pennsylvania and facilitate a revised routing of I-95 in Pennsylvania and New Jersey. The project anticipates construction of a full interchange between I-95 and the PA Turnpike, including the relocation of toll plazas, widening I-95 between PA 413 and US 1 from two lanes in each direction to three, and widening the Turnpike between between US 1 and US 13 from two lanes in each direction to three. This is a partnership project of the PA Turnpike, PennDOT and FHWA. A Major Investment Study was completed in 1997. The Draft Environmental Impact Statement is scheduled for mid-2000 and a Record of Decision is anticipated by mid-2001. Until that time, final decisions can not be made for the right-of-way and construction phases, nor will firm cost estimates be available until the completion of the final design. Though the total project cost has not yet been determined, recent estimates put it at about $485 million (not including costs that might be associated with the construction of a new bridge or the reconstruction of the existing bridge.) Over $227 million in Federal Aid Interstate construction funds are reserved for the project. Remaining funds will be provided by the PA Turnpike Commission and through other State and Federal sources.

In order to connect recipients of Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF) and other low-income persons with jobs that are often located in suburban areas with minimal public transportation from urban and rural areas, appropriate and affordable transportation is essential. Therefore, the Departments of Public Welfare and Transportation (PENNDOT) established the welfare to work (w2w) Transportation Demonstration Program with these four Objectives: Formation of Partnerships - for cooperation and coordination between the transit provider and local organizations essential to the project.

The consensus among participants in the study, which includes representatives from Lane Transit District, Lane Council of Governments, Benton Area Transit, Salem Area Mass Transit and Yamhill County, thought that sufficient demand for transit exists on the corridor to launch pilot transit service. Two of the participants in the study, Yamhill County and Benton County, have agreed to a partnership to operate the pilot transit service. 1 For background, the City of Monroe is completely unserved by transit, and many areas along Hwy 99W are only accessible by private automobile.
