Located in Franklin and Washington Townships, Greene County and Amwell Township, Washington County this project begins one-half mile south of the Waynesburg Interchange (Exit 14), proceeds approximately 11.5 miles north through the Ruff Creek Interchange (Exit 19) and ends two miles north of the Marinna/Prosperity Interchange (Exit 23). 

The scope of work is to maintain and improve the condition of the existing pavement and structures including minor safety enhancements along the corridor. The project is needed to extend the useable service life of the facility.

The work will be completed in phases under long-term single lane restriction in each direction throughout the duration of construction. Additional travel restrictions will include a temporary lane shift onto the ramps for a limited period, as well as intermittent short-term truck detours and reduced speeds to accommodate the concrete bridge deck restoration at select locations. Ramp detours will be necessary while the interchanges are patched or repaved.
