Highland Park Interchange Reconstruction
Project (SR 28, Section A56)
A sound barrier meeting was held on February 12, 2019 at
the Sharpsburg VFW for the benefitted property owners and
renters in Aspinwall Borough and O'Hara Township associated
with the Highland Park Interchange Reconstruction Project
(SR 28, Section A56) located in Aspinwall Borough, Fox Chapel
Borough, Sharpsburg Boroughs, City of Pittsburgh, and O'Hara
Township, Allegheny County. The purpose of the meeting was
to provide voting information to the benefited property owners
and residential renters in regards to having a sound barrier
constructed (or not constructed) near their homes. Additionally,
provided was information on the type, style and color of the
proposed sound barriers on the community side if they wish
to have PennDOT construct the barrier. As part of PENNDOT's
public involvement process we have attached a PowerPoint presentation
and meeting displays to learn more about the sound barriers.

A public meeting was held on December 12, 2017 at the Fox
Chapel Area High School Auditorium for the Highland Park Interchange
Reconstruction Project (SR 28, Section A56) located in Aspinwall
Borough, Fox Chapel Borough, Sharpsburg Boroughs, City of
Pittsburgh, and O'Hara Township, Allegheny County. The purpose
of the project is to address the existing bottleneck and congested
traffic flow on SR 28 (Allegheny Valley Expressway) and other
operational and safety issues within the SR 28/Highland Park
Bridge and Freeport Road Interchange. The proposed project
involves reconstruction of SR 28 to reestablish two travel
lanes in each direction through the interchange, construction
of improved acceleration and deceleration ramps, bridge preservation
work, and miscellaneous operational and safety improvements.
Noise walls are being evaluated as part of the project. The
Highland Park Bridge river crossing and the Riverfront 47
Development are not part of this project. Construction for
this project is not anticipated until Spring 2020.
As part of PENNDOT's public involvement process we have attached
a PowerPoint presentation, video rendering of the project,
meeting displays, and a comment/feedback form to learn more
about the project and to provide you an opportunity to provide
feedback. Please contact Erik Porter, P.E., Senior Project
Manager, at (412) 429-4869 or via e-mail at eporter@pa.gov
