Fairmont Connector Interchange
The "Fairmont Connector Interchange", consists of a modern 4-lane highway containing several "round-a-bout" intersections which allow for a much more efficient and unimpeded flow of traffic to the downtown, college and northern areas of Marion County. Also included are walking trails and bike paths as part of the plan to provide for a greater array of transportation options. When complete, this project will link Interstate Interstate 79 with downtown Fairmont.
