PennDOT Invites Pennsylvanians to Share Feedback on Construction, Maintenance Services

PennDOT Invites Pennsylvanians to Share Feedback on Construction, Maintenance Services

 Statewide Online Survey Available Until October 22

Harrisburg, PA – The Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT) is accepting construction and maintenance services feedback through an online survey. The public can take the survey through October 22 by visiting 2024 PennDOT Construction/Maintenance Customer Satisfaction Survey.

Construction and maintenance work has been underway across the state this year. From January through August, 303 bridges were put out for bid to be repaired, replaced, or preserved by PennDOT or industry forces. Additionally, from January through August more than 3,100 roadway miles were improved by department or partner crews. This includes 1,114 miles of paving.

“PennDOT is working hard for Pennsylvanians every day, and work on our roads and bridges is one of our largest services in our communities,” PennDOT Secretary Mike Carroll said. “This survey is one way the public can help us find successes, potential improvements, or educational opportunities.”

The 24-question survey asks respondents how they receive PennDOT roadway information and how often PennDOT meets or exceeds expectations in construction and maintenance activities. Respondents are also asked about experiences with reporting concerns to the department, and whether or how they use the state’s 511PA traveler information services.

Motorists can check conditions on major roadways by visiting www.511PA.com. 511PA, which is free and available 24 hours a day, provides traffic delay warnings, weather forecasts, traffic speed information and access to more than 1,000 traffic cameras.

511PA is also available through a smartphone application for iPhone and Android devices, by calling 5-1-1, or by following regional X alerts.

PECO Work in Township

PECO is continuing to work on upgrading and installing new equipment to modernize and enhance the local electric grid.  This project is part of PECO’s Reliability & Resiliency Plan to invest $1.36 billon through2025 on targeted reliability-focused infrastructure investments.  These investments will help strengthen the local electric infrastructure to better withstand more frequent and damaging storms, deliver enhanced reliability for customers, and enable the adoption of clean energy resources.

About this project:

  • PECO is investing more than $335,000 to enhance the local electric infrastructure in the Township.
  • Existing lower voltage electric circuits will be upgraded to higher voltages to better meet customer needs.
  • A machine referred to as a directional bore machine will be used to install new conduit as well as new underground electrical cable throughout your neighborhood.
  • New equipment, including pad-mount transformers could be installed or replaced as necessary.
  • This work will help to improve reliability – reducing the frequency of outages and minimizing the duration of outages that do occur and will increase the ability for customers to install clean energy resources, like solar generation.
  • Work will occur along Herrick Avenue, Roselyn Drive, Merle Way, Crestwood Avenue, and E. Bristol Road.
  • Construction will begin in mid-August 2024.  The project is expected to be completed by the end of October 2024.
  • Work will be performed by PECO crews and qualified PECO contractors

Crews may need to temporarily interrupt service to safely complete some of this work.  PECO will work with local residents to ensure they are informed in advance of their activities and any planned interruptions.  to ensure you receive all outage updates, please confirm that your phone number is accurate in PECO’s system through MyAccount at peco.com/myaccount or by calling PECO at 1-800-494-4000.

PECO will work closely with local officials to minimize the impact on traffic and pedestrians whenever possible.  Access for services such as trash removal, student transportation and emergency vehicles will be maintained during construction.  If you have any questions regarding the details of this project and how it may impact you, please contact Gary Dollahon, Customer Liaison, at Gary.Dollahon@exeloncorp.com.
