Scott/carnegie flood mitigation

The Federal Highway Administration awarded the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation $462,636.94 on November 6, 2025, under the Promoting Resilient Operations for Transformative, Efficient, and Cost-Saving Transportation (PROTECT) program (CFDA 20.284) to fund drainage mitigation and flood control analysis on State Route 50 in Scott Township and Carnegie Borough, Allegheny County.

The project addresses persistent flooding that has degraded the resilience of the major road network in the area. The award funds a comprehensive study to determine what flood control measures can be implemented to mitigate drainage problems on the corridor. Performance extends through May 30, 2033, with all work conducted in Pennsylvania. The PROTECT program supports surface transportation resilience to natural hazards including climate change, sea level rise, flooding, and extreme weather events through planning activities and resilience improvements.

Project description
