State, regional, and local officials took time Monday night to share information with the public about the future of transportation projects in Butler County.
Representatives of PennDOT and the Southwestern Pennsylvania Commission joined Butler County Commissioners for an online meeting about the Transportation Improvement Program that is being developed for 2025-2028.
The initiative outlines specific transportation projects and infrastructure planning across a 10 county region that includes Butler County. The SPC mentioned $81 million in bridge replacements across the county including Karns Crossing, Renfrew, South Monroe Street, Geibel Road, and St. Joe. Other roadway investments proposed are $25 million on Route 422, $43 million on Route 228, and $20 million on Route 8.
Public comment is still being accepted through this Friday by email or mail to the SPC. A vote for adoption of the draft is expected sometime later this month.
