Description
Caption on the back of the photograph reads, “Boulevard of the Allies relocation work at Brady Street is part of the larger Penn-Lincoln Parkway project. The downtown section of the Parkway will be built on the lower left, linking the eastern and western sections, which are now in use.” 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.
