Anticipating increases in travel demand, the Enterprise is dedicated to ensuring a high level of service on existing facilities. This is an integral part of our focus on the goal of customer service. In recent market research studies, our customers have expressed a clear preference for adding capacity to existing facilities. We keep hearing, “more lanes.”

Historically, the Turnpike has been involved in significant improvements to the existing system. Since 1990, the Turnpike opened 9 new system interchanges, added 39 lane-miles of widening projects and made substantial improvements to toll plazas, service plazas and other facilities. The Turnpike also made substantial investments in electronic toll collection (ETC) and intelligent transportation systems (ITS).

The current ten-year finance plan, covering the period FY 2003 through FY 2012, has a number of significant widening and improvement projects. These will produce a total of 150 lane-miles of widening and 11 interchange improvement projects.
