Cranberry's Rochester Road To Get Major Upgrade

CRANBERRY TOWNSIP, PA — Improved traffic flow and increased pedestrian access is coming to Rochester Road. The Pennsylvania Turnpike Commission is partnering with PennDOT and the township to widen the road beneath the turnpike and expand the bridge above it.

The Rochester Road portion of the project is part of a larger two-mile stretch of the turnpike being considered for reconstruction to create additional lanes. The expansion of the narrow bridge that carries the turnpike over Rochester Road is a key component of the initiative.

Township supervisors have "prioritized expanding and improving infrastructure in and around the township, and this project on Rochester Road has been one our top priorities for over a decade,” Supervisor Bruce Mazzoni said. “As with many of our projects, this will be a truly collaborative effort that benefits not just Cranberry Township but the traveling public on the turnpike.”
