Uniontown, PA – The Pennsylvania Department of Transportation's (PennDOT's) Engineering District 12, along with the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA), invites the community to participate in an open-house format public meeting to review and comment on the Arnold City Interchange Project in Rostraver Township, Westmoreland County.

Representatives from PennDOT and the project team will be available to answer questions and take comments regarding the project. 

The public meeting will be held on the following date, time and at the location listed below: 

Date:               Tuesday, October 10, 2023

Time:              4:30 PM to 6:30 PM 

Location:        Rostraver Central Firehall

The Arnold City Interchange Improvements Project, connecting Route 3011, Finley Road, Indian Hill Road, and Daugherty Lane to I-70, located in Rostraver Township, is intended to improve safety and traffic operations at the interchange and along I-70. The project area is approximately 1.75 miles long, extending from the I-70 bridge over the Wheeling and Lake Erie Railroad to 1.37 miles east of the Arnold City Interchange.

The project will include widening the median from 4 feet to 10 feet and widening the outside shoulders from 10 feet to 12 feet. The reconstructed interchange will utilize a diamond configuration with a five-leg roundabout that will connect the eastbound ramps with Indian Hill Road and Finley Road. The westbound ramps will be reconstructed as standard diamond ramps with an unsignalized intersection. The roadway will be shifted approximately 4 feet to the north to accommodate the widening.

A final alternative has been chosen for this project, which will be displayed at the open house.  A proposed construction schedule and detour routes will also be displayed. Representatives from PennDOT will be at the meeting to answer questions and discuss project details. No formal presentation will be given.

The project documents will be made available in alternative languages or formats if requested. If you need translation/interpretation services or have special needs or concerns that require individual attention, please contact Project Manager, Mr. Gary Ferrari, no later than one week before the meeting at (724)-439-7156, by email at gferrari@pa.gov or write to:
