The Pennsylvania Department of Transportation has tapped a new executive for District 8: Tucker Ferguson.
Ferguson, who lives in Newberry Township, will lead a team of 1,112 employees who are responsible for maintenance, design and construction of all state-maintained roads and bridges in eight counties, including York and Adams, according to a news release.
Ferguson most recently served as director for construction and materials for PennDOT, where he was responsible for direction and administration of all highway and bridge construction among other duties.
He has worked for PennDOT for 19 years in a variety of capacities, including acting district executive for District 5 in Allentown from June 2007 until April 2008.
Ferguson has a bachelor's degree in civil engineering technology from the University of Pittsburgh-Johnstown.
He succeeds R. Scott Christie, who was promoted earlier this year to deputy secretary for Highway Administration.
