The Route 29 Turnpike Interchange Is Open

Governor Tom Corbett cut the ribbon in a ceremony Tuesday afternoon.

After decades of planning and nearly two years of construction, the Pennsylvania Turnpike Commission opened a new interchange in East Whiteland Township on Tuesday.

Governor Corbett was joined by other dignitaries and the media for the ribbon-cutting ceremony in the afternoon. 

The new interchange, which connects to Route 29 in the northeastern tip of East Whiteland Township, is the first all-access interchange to open on the turnpike in decades.
