Since PA 28 is a state highway and not an Interstate highway, it does not have to fully conform with modern Interstate standards. In spite of that, the upgraded segment of highway is bound to be a dramatic improvement over the obsolete and dangerous segment that it replaces.

@USHighway101 They're modernizing it as much as they can, given the constraints. The right-of-way for PA 28 is squeezed by a cliff on one side and a railroad on the other, so the upgraded highway will only have emergency pull-off areas instead of full shoulders, and the way the ends of the intersecting bridges (31st and 40th Streets) are built necessitates on- and off-ramps on the left. As a result, it will be a limited-access highway with a relatively low speed limit of either 45 or 50 MPH.

Man, there wasn't a boring second at all in this video, this was SUPERB! I don't recall driving any of the bridges or tunnels that you showcased in the first half of this video.
Question. Are they modernizing PA 28 at this time?

@USHighway101 Thanks, glad you enjoyed it! I'm not 100% sure on PA-28 but from what I understand they are trying to modernize and connect the freeway sections.
