Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT) is soliciting bids for reconstruction and widening of the Exit 303 interchange on Interstate 80, Section BO1, in Monroe County, Stroud Township, with bids due July 2, 2026 at 11:00 a.m. This is a federal oversight project subject to DBE requirements, Buy America standards, and Executive Order 11246.

The scope encompasses bridge structures, retaining walls, drainage systems, pavement, traffic control systems, utilities, erosion control, and site restoration across more than 500 line items. Work includes demolition, excavation and fill, reinforced concrete pipe installation, asphalt paving with specified depth and mix designs, concrete pavement systems, guide rail and barrier installations, electrical and lighting systems, traffic signal equipment, pavement markings, landscaping and vegetation management, mechanically stabilized earth walls, soil nail walls, and sound barrier walls. The project involves coordination with Brodhead Creek Regional Authority and Stroud Township Sewer Authority for water and sanitary sewer line relocations. Pricing is structured as unit-price items with dollar-based incentive and disincentive provisions tied to asphalt mixture design, pavement ride quality, and water-cement ratio compliance.

Special provisions impose tree removal constraints, in-stream construction limitations, noise control, invasive species avoidance, stormwater management, and vibration monitoring at specified parcels. Bidders must submit material certifications electronically through PennDOT's ECMS system and comply with Pennsylvania Right-to-Know Law requirements. One addendum has been issued to the proposal.
