Section B01, the fifth of the nine projects to widen and improve U.S. Route 22 in Westmoreland County, was completed in April 2005.   Under this $29.9 million contract, PennDOT Engineering District 12-0 and their contractor, Mascaro Contracting, widened approximately 2.8 miles of Route 22 from the Allegheny/Westmoreland county line to the Cozy-Inn Cut-off.

Route 22 was widened to provide six lanes of traffic from the Allegheny/Westmoreland county line to Vincent Hall Road/Trafford Road.  From Vincent Hall Road/Trafford Road to just east of the Cozy Inn Cut-off, Route 22 was widened to four lanes with a median divider.  Left-turn lanes at intersections and jug-handles were constructed to allow adequate turning movements within the corridor.  Context-sensitive design features, including decorative streetlights, median plantings, and landscaping, were accomplished through a funding partnership with the Municipality of Murrysville.  The bridge over Turtle Creek and the Turtle Creek Railroad was also replaced as part of this project.
