TRAVEL ADVISORY
WESTBOUND “E-ZPASS ONLY” LANE MOVED TOWARD CENTER OF WARRENDALE PLAZA

The Pennsylvania Turnpike Commission has shifted the location of the “E-ZPass Only” lane for westbound customers approaching the new mainline toll plaza at Warrendale to improve traffic flow.

The lane had been in the westbound lane farthest to the left. It is now two lanes closer to the center of the plaza.

All E-ZPass customers exiting the Turnpike ticket system at Warrendale should be aware of the new location. E-ZPass customers are reminded to use lanes marked as “E-ZPass Only” or “E-ZPass & Tickets.”

If traffic volumes build, the “E-ZPass Only” lane may be converted to “E-ZPass & Tickets.”

The mainline toll plaza at Warrendale opened on June 1 and is the western terminus of the Turnpike ticket system. It is located at Milepost 31 in Allegheny County, at the border of Marshall and Pine townships.
