This is a wide diamond interchange between Interstate 77 (West Virginia Turnpike) and U.S. Route 460 (Big Laurel Highway) east of Princeton, West Virginia. It is located at the southern end of the West Virginia Turnpike. Both ramp junctions are signalized. The interchange was first constructed around 1969. Prior to this, it was a T-junction at the southern end of the West Virginia Turnpike. The construction of the interstate extended the freeway to south, bypassing Princeton. The bridge was reconstructed around 2007, accommodating longer left turn lanes on Route 460.
