(Pittsburgh, PA) PennDOT District 11 announced that the next phase of work for the Interstate 79/Route 910 Wexford Interchange project in Franklin Park Borough and Marshall Township, Allegheny County will begin tomorrow, weather permitting. Starting at 7:00 A.M., there will be single-lane restrictions controlled by flaggers in both directions of Wexford Bayne Road (Route 4042) between the I-79 interchange and the Nicholson Road (Route 4049) intersection. These restrictions will be in place around-the-clock through 3 P.M. this Wednesday to allow crews to relocate signal heads and conduct line painting operations. The restrictions could be lifted earlier if the work is finished sooner. When the signal head and line painting operations are completed, the new traffic configuration between the I-79 interchange and Nicholson Road will be as follows through late May:
Eastbound Wexford Bayne Road
- One thru-lane of traffic will be maintained heading eastbound to Route 910
- The second thru-lane will be closed
- The right-hand turn lane to southbound I-79 will remain open
Westbound Wexford Bayne Road
- Westbound traffic will be shifted
Sunny Hill Drive
- Traffic exiting Sunny Hill Drive will be prohibited from making left-turns onto Wexford Bayne Road
- Eastbound traffic on Wexford Bayne Road will be prohibited from making left-turns onto Sunny Hill Drive
- These modifications at the Sunny Hill Drive intersection will be permanent
There will also be intermittent westbound Wexford Bayne Road turning lane restrictions at the Nicholson Road intersection from 9 A.M. to 3 P.M. weekdays through late May for median removal and replacement work. Flaggers will help motorists through the intersection.
