  • Description
  • Early Penn-Lincoln Parkway construction looking northwest towards downtown Pittsburgh with the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad tracks (left center), Second Avenue (left of tracks), and the Jones & Laughlin Steel Plant (far left). Cutting into hillsides (right) to avoid Second Avenue (street at left) and the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad tracks (left), the new Parkway would eventually connect with the new Fort Pitt Boulevard. The Parkway got its name because it carried traffic from US22 (William Penn Highway) and US30 (Lincoln Highway).
