  • Description
  • Penn-Lincoln Parkway construction at Bates Street with the sprawling Jones & Laughlin Steel Mill on the left near the bank of the Monongahela River. The Parkway ends at the Bates Street hillside (center right). In September 1956, barriers were lifted to allow traffic to use the outbound lanes between the Boulevard of the Allies and Bates Street. The entire 27-mile Penn-Lincoln Parkway (Interstate 376), constructed under the Federal Highway Act of 1956, would connect Pittsburgh with the Pennsylvania Turnpike to the east and the Greater Pittsburgh Airport to the west.
