THE MON-FAYETTE EXPRESSWAY
MANY AREAS ON THE MAP BELOW WILL TAKE YOU TO VARIOUS PARTS OF
THE FAECO SITE ALONG WITH WEBPAGES REGARDING THE AREA THAT YOU CLICK.
Completion of the Mon/Fayette Expressway would provide
faster and safer travel options for thru traffic, particularly commercial
vehicles, that now use existing arteries such as PA Routes 51, 88, 837, 48 and
857; as well as U.S. Route 119 and U.S. Route 40 (National Road).
The Mon-Fayette Expressway is a planned 65-mile highway that will
run from Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania in the North to Cheat Lake, West Virginia in the south.
The project is divided into 4 separate sections. Those sections and their
respective status is listed below. Please click on the links on the left of the
table to learn more about that particular section.
