Project Overview
State Route 130 Interchange – Better Access, Stronger Communities
The PA Turnpike is moving forward with plans to build a brand-new interchange connecting the Turnpike to State Route 130 in Penn Township, Westmoreland County. This exciting project is designed to improve local access to the Turnpike, making travel easier for residents, businesses, and visitors alike.
Located between the Irwin and Pittsburgh interchanges, the new connection will serve both eastbound and westbound traffic on the PA Turnpike. That means more direct access for drivers and reduced pressure on surrounding roads. This new access point is also made possible by the PA Turnpike’s transition to Open Road Tolling (ORT), which significantly reduces the cost of building new interchanges. It’s also important to note that many local officials have requested this access point and have long supported improved connectivity in this area.
Opening Doors to Growth
In addition to making travel more convenient, the new interchange will help spur economic development in Westmoreland County and nearby communities. By improving connections to the region’s transportation network, this project supports job creation, business investment, and overall growth.
