    State Route: I-79 and 910
    Local Name: Wexford Interchange
    Project Type: Improvement

    Last Updated: 08/19/2025

    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 Drive and Brandt School Road/VIP 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, as well as temporary ramps to maintain access for most of the project. Additionally, short-term lane and shoulder closures will be utilized. Beams for the new structures will be set during overnight traffic stoppages of I-79 northbound. While I-79 southbound will be detoured overnight using the existing southbound off- and on-ramps during beam setting. The project is anticipated to continue through the 2027 construction season. Golden Triangle Construction Company is the prime contractor.
