The Mon-Fayette Expressway:  I-68 to Uniontown Section

News:

As indicated in the Current Status section, West Virginia is currently behind Pennsylvania as far as construction and completion schedules.  West Virginia is expected to begin their 4.2 mile section in Spring 2000 and not complete it until early 2004.  This will leave the Pennsylvania section incomplete until 2004 requiring southbound travelers to exit the expressway prematurely at Gans Road, the last interchange in Pennsylvania before traveling into West Virginia.  For more information on the West Virginia section, please click here.
