    Shapiro Administration Highlights Wexford Interchange Project, $316 Million in Transportation Investments in Pittsburgh Region This Year

    Under the Shapiro Administration, more than 23,100 miles have been improved statewide, and work has advanced on over 2,100 state and local bridges. 

    November 12, 2026

    Bridgeville, PA – Today, Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT) Secretary Mike Carroll and local officials highlighted the ongoing construction of the Interstate 79/Route 910 Wexford Interchange project and discussed the 2026 construction season, including $316 million in infrastructure investments in Allegheny, Beaver, and Lawrence counties.

    “We’re continuing to make critical investments in our roads and bridges across the state, and the Pittsburgh region is no different,” said Carroll. “Through projects like the I-79 Wexford Interchange, and so many more across the state, we’re continuing to show up for Pennsylvanians and get stuff done.”

    Under the Shapiro Administration, more than 23,100 miles have been improved statewide, and work has advanced on over 2,100 state and local bridges. Between January and October of this year, PennDOT has improved 3,992 miles of road, including 1,231 miles of paving and 506 state and locally owned bridges are set to be repaired, replaced, or preserved.

    Overall highlights in the 2026 construction season for District 11 include:

    • 56 projects went out to bid.
    • Approximately 892 miles of paving and road maintenance.
    • 40 bridges were repaired or replaced, including 10 in poor condition.
    • 36 slides repaired.

    “Earlier this year, we slid the new I-376 Commercial Street Bridge into place, but that is just one example of the many improvements and innovative projects taking place across our district,” said District 11 Executive Jason Zang. “With more than 100 projects under construction this year, PennDOT continues to deliver meaningful investments that enhance our transportation network. We want to thank southwestern Pennsylvania travelers for their patience and cooperation throughout the season as we worked to improve our roads and bridges.”

    As part of the final 2026-27 state budget, the Shapiro Administration will drive out $775 million from the Motor License Fund over the next 18 months for shovel-ready projects to repair state-owned roads across Pennsylvania.

    There will be more than 400 miles of paving to 44 counties because of this funding. These Rapid Deployment Projects will begin early, helping to reduce ongoing maintenance costs, prevent further road deterioration, and free up resources like crews and equipment for use in other projects.

    The I-79/Route 910 Wexford Interchange project, located in Franklin Park Borough and Marshall Township, includes new construction of a full offset single-point urban interchange (SPUI). Work on this $46.5 million project began in 2025 and has included construction of two new flyover structures over I-79, intersection improvements, and drainage work. In 2027, travelers can expect continued work on removal of the old ramps, drainage work, bridge preservation and paving work on Route 910, construction of stormwater management facilities, traffic signal improvements, new highway lighting, minor ITS upgrades, signing/pavement marking and guide rail updates, and other miscellaneous construction activities.
