The Sumneytown Pike/PA 309 Connector Project (SR 1058, Sections HAT & HT2) is located in a (5)-mile corridor running east to west through five townships in Montgomery and Bucks Counties, Pennsylvania. The purpose of the project is to provide a connection from Sumneytown Pike just north of the PA Turnpike’s Lansdale Interchange to PA 309 to relieve existing and projected traffic congestion.
For SR 1058 Section HAT, Susquehanna Civil Inc. has been performing field surveys, geotechnical engineering, and preparing R/W plans for the proposed PA 309 connector from Summeytown Pike to SR 0309 in Montgomery and Bucks Counties, PA.

The I-95 Girard Avenue Interchange project is the southernmost component of Penn-DOT’s reconstruction of I-95 in Philadelphia. This interchange is an important interface between heavily traveled I-95 and three (3) of Philadelphia’s primary arterials: Girard Avenue, Aramingo Avenue and
Delaware Avenue. The project involves:
Reconstructing the Girard Avenue Interchange.
Eliminating lane drops on mainline I-95 by widening from three (3) lanes to four (4) lanes through the interchange in each direction.
Widening and reconstruction of three (3) miles of pavement and thirteen (13) bridge structures along I-95.
Improving access between I-95 and the local street system.
Improving highway signing.
The project has since added ITS structures along the corridor.
Susquehanna Civil, Inc. has been performing the following activities:
Geotechnical engineering tasks such as RSGER’s, administration of core boring contracts, core boring inspection, foundation design for bridges and retaining walls.
Field survey work for the entire project, including rail surveys and detailed information regarding all existing structures, ramps, utilities, drainage and signs. This includes surveying portions of I-95 mainline utilizing a mobile mapping solution.
Traffic engineering in the form of all required signing and pavement marking plans.
Right-of-way support consisting primarily of deed research.
Environmental Permitting assistance.
