January 15, 2025 - Christiana, PA
At an event in Lancaster County today, Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT) Secretary Mike Carroll highlighted 269 South Bridge St in Christiana as an example of the Shapiro Administration's historic progress in maintaining and improving critical infrastructure across the Commonwealth, with Pennsylvania leading the nation last year in the repair of poor-condition bridges. Governor Shapiro and his Administration understand the vital role infrastructure plays in the daily lives of millions of Pennsylvanians, which is why PennDOT works quickly and safely to ensure roads and bridges are ready for the people who rely on them every day. The Shapiro administration has invested hundreds of millions of dollars in infrastructure in both rural and urban communities. These investments support a safe and reliable transportation network that connects Pennsylvanians to greater opportunity, no matter where they live. "PennDOT has a huge responsibility: to deliver quality transportation for the 13 million people of Pennsylvania, as well as those who travel through our state," said Carroll. "We don't take that responsibility lightly, and I couldn't be prouder of our team, who, along with our industry partners, have improved more miles of roadway and more bridges over the past two years than any time in the last decade. We can't rest on this progress, and we have to keep focused on our goal of keeping Pennsylvania's roads and bridges safe and reliable."List of Speakers:Secretary Mike Carroll Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT) Mike Reeder, PennDOT District 8 Assistant District Executive for ConstructionKen Elder, Business Development Manager at Lobar Associates, IncJason Brown, Project Manager, Lobar Associates
