Pittsburgh, PA – The Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT) is announcing restrictions on Interstate 79 in Marshall Township and Franklin Park Borough, Allegheny County will continue next week, Tuesday through Friday, August 4-7, weather permitting.

Southbound I-79 will be reduced to a single-lane of traffic between the off and on-ramps at the Route 910/Wexford (Exit 73) interchange from 7:00 PM to 6:00 AM each night for abutment work.

Please stay alert and drive cautiously – safety is everyone’s responsibility.

The $46.5 million I-79/Route 910 Wexford Interchange project will include new construction of a full offset single-point urban interchange (SPUI) at the I-79/Route 910 Wexford Interchange. The project limits along I-79 are from approximately 1.5 miles north of the I-79/I-279 split to Mingo Road and the limits on Route 910 are between Nicholson Road and Brandt School Road/VIP Drive in Franklin Park Borough and Marshall Township. Bridge work includes two new flyover structures over I-79, as well as sign structures and bridge preservation to the existing bridge carrying Route 910 over I-79. Other work includes traffic signal improvements, new highway lighting, minor ITS upgrades, drainage work, signing/pavement marking and guide rail updates, and other miscellaneous construction. During construction, three lanes of traffic in each direction are expected during peak travel times, as well as temporary ramps to maintain access for most of the project. Additionally, short-term lane and shoulder closures will be utilized. The project is anticipated to continue through the 2027 construction season.
