The Section B09 (Derry Township) of U.S. Route 22 in Westmoreland County is to be widened beginning in the Fall of 2007. Michael Baker Jr., Inc. (Baker) is performing Final Design services in partnership with PennDOT District 12-0. Baker is developing Plans, Specifications and Estimates for materials required to construct this section of highway.

Approximately 1.9 miles of Route 22 will be widened as a part of this section of Route 22. From just west of the Route 22/982 intersection to the Route 22/Township Road 693 (Auction Barn Road) intersection, Route 22 will be widened to provide 4 traffic lanes with a median divider. Openings in the median will be provided to allow for left turn lanes at intersections and appropriate locations.

The reconstruction of U.S. Route 22, Section B09 will impact 0.19 acres of wetlands, which will be replaced as part of the Section B08 construction contract.   The wetland mitigation site is located on property owned by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers in Derry Township.

Construction activities are expected to slow traffic in the project area, especially during peak traffic times. No detours are planned, and access to local businesses and residences will be maintained during construction. Construction is expected to require 24 months (to be completed in Fall 2009).
