New temporary restrictions start Monday related to the I-79/Route 910 Wexford Interchange project.
According to PennDOT, from Oct. 6-10, the southbound Interstate 79 on-ramp from Route 910/Wexford Bayne Road will be reduced to one lane from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. This restriction will allow crews to conduct utility realocation work.
The work will also close one of the two turning lanes from westbound Route 910/Wexford Bayne Road to the southbound I-79 on-ramp.
This $46.5 million project aims to improve the interchange by constructing a new single-point urban interchange (SPUI) at the I-79/Route 910 Wexford Interchange. The project is expected to continue through the 2027 construction season.
The construction will affect both directions of I-79 between approximately 1.5 miles north of the I-79/I-279 split to Mingo Road, the I-79 interchange on- and off-ramps at Route 910/Wexford (Exit 73) and Route 910 between Nicholson Road Drive and Brandt School Road/VIP.
