The long-awaited US$420 million direct connection between I-95 and the 774 Pennsylvania Turnpike has moved closer to reality with the approval of a US$155 million section of the work.

The Delaware Valley Regional Planning Commission has approved one section at a cost of US$155 million to allow the work to start in June, with completion targeted for 2018.  The project will open to tender on 24 April 2014 and will involve widening and reconstructing about four miles of the turnpike where the connection with I-95 is to be built, together with three new turnpike bridges and piers for the flyover ramps for the new connection.

The Turnpike Commission and the 6111 Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (DOT) expect to award the winning bidder on 5 June 2014; construction is targeted to commence later in the month.

In a town where compromise is sometimes considered an endangered species, Republicans and Democrats came together during a months-long series of negotiations and hashed out a bipartisan agreement that

    Detroit was once a byword for urban decay – but ITS America recently held its annual meeting there. This gave David Arminas a chance to assess how fast Motor City is moving down the road to recovery. Motor City, as Detroit is still called, was on its financial knees only five short years ago. The future looked bleak as the city and greater urban area bled jobs and population. It was on 18 July 2013 that Motown, as Detroit is also known, filed for Chapter 9 bankruptcy protection, the

    Connecticut’s new administration is using smart policy and ITS solutions to bridge social divides. Andrew Bardin Williams investigates. With only 130,000 residents, New Haven can hardly be called a metropolis. Measuring less than 502km (18 square miles), the city is huddled against the coast, squeezed between two mountains (appropriately called East Rock and West Rock) that, at 111m and 213m (366ft and 700ft) respectively, can hardly be called mountains. The airport is small and has limited service, and th
