The PA Route 23 study is currently in the documentation phase wherein the impacts from the alternatives considered in detail are quantified and analyzed. The Project Team is currently preparing the Draft Environmental Impact Statement (Draft EIS).

This website is designed to provide you with the project history and the latest project developments. Learning more about the PA 23 EIS study is only a mouse click away.

PennDOT recognizes the unique nature of the Route 23 Study Area and is committed to finding the best solution that meets the project needs while balancing the potential impacts. In March 2004, PennDOT identified the PA 23 EIS Project as one of 12 projects statewide that would be reevaluated to find ways to reduce construction costs and environmental impacts, while still meeting the long-term transportation needs and maintaining quality of life to the greatest extent possible. This approach is referred to as Right-Sizing. If you would like to speak with someone directly about the PA 23 EIS project, please contact the following:
