Every six months, Pennsylvania’s P3 program opens a 30-day unsolicited proposal window for the private sector. In December, the state’s P3 Office reported to its board that it was considering four different unsolicited P3 proposals under the program, including a new express lanes project, a bundled bridge replacement project, an interchange project, and a defect detection management system project.
The express lanes proposal was for the I-76 Managed Lanes project, which was submitted by Cintra. The project would develop two express lanes in each direction along I-76 northwest of Philadelphia, between the I-676 intersection near downtown and the SR-202 intersection in King of Prussia. The proposal would deliver the project as a 50-year DBFOM concession, with an estimated project cost of $5 billion and a $200 million upfront concession fee to the state. The proposed project scope would also improve the existing free lanes along the corridor and build new access ramps and interchanges.
