WELCOME!

Route 981, Section Q20 is now under construction! This is the first of three Laurel Valley Transportation Improvements Projects (LVTIP) to move to construction. The project extends from the intersection of SR 981 and SR 819 to Norvelt. To learn more about the project and what to expect during construction, visit the project page.

Thank you for visiting the Laurel Valley Transportation Improvement Project (LVTIP) website, a product of the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT) Engineering District 12-0, in partnership with the Federal Highway Administration and Westmoreland County. The primary focus of the LVTIP is to improve safety, access and mobility along the Route 981 corridor between Route 819 and the Arnold Palmer Regional Airport.
