ALLEGHENY COUNTY, Pa. — The Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT) announced restrictions coming to I-79 in Allegheny County.
These restrictions are scheduled to begin Thursday night and impact drivers in Marshall Township and Franklin Park Borough.
Southbound I-79 will be reduced to a single lane of traffic from 7 p.m. until 6 a.m. the following morning.
The single-lane reduction on southbound I-79 will be between the Route 910/Wexford (Exit 73) off and on-ramps to accommodate overhead beam work.
Additionally, a traffic pattern change will occur on the southbound I-79 off-ramp to Route 910/Wexford (Exit 73) starting at 7 p.m. on July 9.
Traffic from Route 910/Wexford Bayne Road to southbound I-79 will also be shifted to the new pavement on the on-ramp, allowing work on the old pavement.
This change will be in effect around the clock through mid-August.
There will be no changes to the northbound on and off-ramps
The restrictions are part of the $46.5 million I-79/Route 910 Wexford Interchange project, which includes the new construction of a full offset single-point urban interchange (SPUI).
The I-79/Route 910 Wexford Interchange project is anticipated to continue through the 2027 construction season.
PennDOT encourages drivers to stay alert and drive cautiously in the work zones.
