Oh, thank God! Oh, thank God!

That is the single stupidest interchange on the entire Eisenhower Interstate Highway System. Anything is an improvement, even if the eastbound on-ramp is torn out and replaced with nothing.

Viewing the presentation .pdf, it kind of feels like they currently are leaning towards Alternative "F"
I don't have opinions anymore. All I know is that no one is better than anyone else, and everyone is the best at everything

Glad to see PennDOT finally doing something about the two worst interchanges on I-376.

I hope they eventually reconfigure the left-lane on- and off-ramps at the Churchill interchange, and simplify the Edgewood/Swissvale and Forest Hills/Wilkinsburg interchanges.

In 1991, a Pittsburgh Press Columnist, Brian O'Neill, wrote about an overhead guide sign on the city's Crosstown Boulevard that said of an upcoming exit for Fort Duquesne Boulevard - 1/2 mile away.  The problem was - the exit was not there.

This is the story of the unbuilt interchanges on Pittsburgh's Crosstown Boulevard/Expressway (or I-579).  Ft. Duquesne, the full story of the incomplete Bigelow Boulevard interchange (and ghost ramp), and the incomplete movements of the I-279/579/PA 28 Interchange at East Street.

But like every good Pittsburgh highway story - there's a little bit of Skybus, the bankrupt Penn Central Railroad, and of course then-Mayor Pete Flaherty.

Come read along - https://www.gribblenation.org/2025/03/paper-interchanges-ft-duquesne.html

Oh, as for the sign - it was replaced, but it had been up since 1984.

Think about all the activity on I-376 now. On the Parkway West, there will be interchange redesigns at U.S. 22/U.S. 30, Green Tree, and Banksville Road. On the Parkway East, there will be an interchange redesign at Squirrel Hill/Homestead, a bridge replacement over Nine Mile Run, and bridge rehabilitations on the segment from Churchill to the Pennsylvania Turnpike. That's a lot of work, and it doesn't even include the two engineering studies for a bridge replacement over Four Mile Run or a redesigned Bates Street interchange. Also, the new U.S. 22/U.S. 30 overpass over the Parkway West will be able to fit six travel lanes and two collector/distributor lanes under it, including full shoulders across the board, and the new Green Tree Road overpass will be able to fit eight lanes under it, also including full shoulders across the board. It's good to see PennDOT finally beginning to modernize I-376.

The CE Expert System has updates in regard to the I-579 HOV Lanes closure. (yes, there are two separate links for anyone wondering)

Not sure which pier it is, but looking at the Street View from November, it's hard to see much deterioration. Maybe it's on the other side?
