Potters Mills Gap Transportation Project


Project Description

The purpose of the Potters Mills Gap (PMG) Transportation Project has been to improve safety, reduce congestion, and alleviate access concerns along the section of Route 322 from the Centre County/Mifflin County line to west of the Route 322/Route 144 intersection at Potters Mills. Section B04 (the Bridge over SR 322), the first of three sections of the PMG project was completed on September 23, 2015, Section B05 (Sand Mountain Road Interchange at Seven Mountains) was completed on March 30, 2018. The last section, Section B06 (4-Lane Extension and Western Interchange) was announced as officially complete on October 6, 2021. The new, 4-lane alignment for Route 322 opened to traffic in fall of 2020 and was celebrated at a ribbon cutting on November 9, 2020. Work in 2021 focused on completion of improvements on old Route 322/new State Route 2015.
