Summary of Request

 

  1. FACILTITY HISTORY AND NEED: Vehicle counts have grown exponentially along the Lehigh Valley’s most highly traveled corridor U.S. Route 22 Tomorrow: A Corridor Planning Study was completed in November 2001 by the LVPC.  Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT) and the Lehigh Valley Transportation Study (LVTS), the transportation planning board for the Lehigh Valley and managed by the LVPC, have been working through various U.S. 22 preservation and maintenance activities and because of the growing demand for the facility, including freight and population and employment growth.  A new plan, which is phased and prioritized must be developed.  After many conversations, PennDOT, the LVTS, business leaders and the community made a request to Senatorial representation in the region to advance this project.  Ultimately, the Commonwealth was amendable to funding this key plan.
  2. OUTCOME OF NEW PLAN: As this critical transportation facility moves over 100,000 vehicles every day, with a sharp uptick in freight movement, a new needs assessment, asset management strategy, list of alternatives and scenarios, assessment of impacts, list and prioritization of improvements, as well as, estimated total and sub-projects costs and timing needs to be determined.  This plan will result in preliminary design of selected priority projects that prepare the region’s most critical corridor for better congestion management, safety and mobility while improving environmental quality and economic mobility. 
  3. REQUEST FOR PROPOSALS DETAIL AND ACCESS: Information relating to submitting a proposal including specific requirements, the organization of the proposal, proposal evaluation criteria, and the proposed contract is available through Pennbid online bid management services at https://pennbid.net.  Project and request for proposals questions must also be made through Pennbid and will be received through September 30, 2025, 3 PM EST.  Written responses to project and request for proposals questions will be posted to Pennbid on October 3, 2025.  Written proposals will be accepted through Pennbid until October 10, 2025, 3 PM EST.  
  4. PROJECT TIMELINE: The US Route 22: Mobility, Safety and Congestion Management Plan is anticipated to begin on December 1, 2025 and to be completed in one year from kick-off.   
  5. FUNDING PARTNERS: This project is funded by the U.S. Department of Transportation (USDOT), Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT), and Lehigh Valley Transportation Study (LVPC/LVTS).
