PennDOT says Wexford I-79 interchange project expected to be completed ahead of schedule

"Incredible project, transformational project for the region," said PennDOT District 11 Executive Jason Zang.

They said at the time, the full completion date was October 2027 but it could reopen to traffic by November 2026. It's been a major project aimed at fixing safety issues along I-79 where it meets Route 910. That area has seen extreme congestion, which has led to crashes and longer travel times.
