Pennsylvania’s Public Private Transportation Partnership (P3) Board approved Thursday a program that the state hopes will accelerate bridge reconstruction and rehabilitation.
Through the Major Bridge P3 program, the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT) will be able to accelerate work on major bridges across the state by using user fees.
The P3 Board said the program would allow PennDOT to accelerate repairs to major bridges, avoid time and financial impacts of travel diversion, offset gas tax revenue losses, ensure users contribute fairly to construction costs, create a sustainable funding model and ensure public safety.
