Lvtip Pleasant Unity Tender

The LVTIP (Laurel Valley Transportation Improvement Project) project will upgrade 12 miles of the PA 981 corridor from the intersection with PA 819 in Mount Pleasant Township to the Westmoreland County Airport in Unity Township.

The LVTIP will be constructed in three separate sections. Section Y10 is the northern most and will tie into the recently completed 981-V10 project near the airport. SR 981-Y10 is approximately 2.5 miles in length and begins just south of the intersection of Bingham Road and the SR 2023 (Hill Churches Road) intersection in Mt. Pleasant Township. SR 981- Y10 then primarily follows existing SR 2023 northward to near the intersection with Green Street.

At this point, the alignment proceeds in a northwestward direction to the Westmoreland Airpark. It then extends through the Airpark along the southern portion of Bay Hill Drive then intersects with existing SR 981 just south of the Arnold Palmer Airport. No new capacity is planned. Corridor improvements would include on-line upgrades as well as segments of new alignment where upgrades are not feasible due to physical/environmental constraints.
