  • Description
  • View looking northwest at the Penn-Lincoln Parkway construction site at Bates Street interchange. The Boulevard of the Allies is on the far right with the tops of downtown Pittsburgh skyscrapers in the distance. In September 1956, barriers were lifted to allow traffic to use the outbound lanes of the Parkway 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.
