[2] The Beaver River Bridge is an example of a mid-20th century cantilever deck truss with preservation groups making efforts to save it from demolition as its structural style is becoming rare.
[citation needed] In 2012, the Pennsylvania Turnpike Commission set aside nearly $300 million to replace the bridge, and began the design phase of its Milepost 12-14 reconstruction project.
Within the Beaver Valley Interchange, an aging ramp bridge was replaced with a temporary span.
Formerly, the interchange had a toll booth in the middle, but was removed when this section of the Turnpike became free in the late 1990s.
Construction began on the new bridge and interchange in January 2023 and is expected to conclude in November 2026.
