Fiber install I-80 exit 120 to district office

This $300,000 Formula Grant award from the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) under the Highway Planning and Construction program (CFDA 20.205) will fund the installation of fiber optic infrastructure along Interstate 80 in Pennsylvania. The project, titled "Fiber Install I-80 Exit 120 to District Office", will connect the FHWA's district office to Intelligent Transportation System (ITS) equipment along I-80. This will improve the responsiveness of the Regional Transportation Management Center (RTMC) for traffic flow management, rerouting, and other operations, ultimately reducing congestion and vehicle emissions. The Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT) is the awardee and will oversee the infrastructure installation project, scheduled to be completed by November 2024.
