New Bill Would Require PA Turnpike To Advance Southern Beltway Projects
Pennsylvania Business Report covers the introduction of state legislation (HB 2556) that would require the Pennsylvania Turnpike Commission to construct, operate, and maintain two segments of the proposed Southern Beltway Projects and commit funding for that purpose. “This legislation is essential to the development of our local economy,” said the bill’s prime sponsor, State Representative Mike Puskaric (R-39). “Enacting this legislation would also allow the completion of two vital trucking routes into the Mon Valley, as well as connect us to the city of Pittsburgh and the Pittsburgh International Airport.”
