I've lived here my whole life. Love this city, and the topography, but you missed the best ones..... entering the city, from the airport, through the Fort Pitt tunnel and bridge. Spectacular! That shot has been used in numerous movies and videos n'at.

Glad you included the Armstrong tunnel. People seem to forget that one. I think it's one the few tunnels in the world with a bend in it

The Smithfield Street Bridge (my favorite) was designed by the gentleman who designed the Brooklyn Bridge and the Armstrong Tunnels were used in the TV Mini-series "The Stand". When Larry and Rita (?) come out of the tunnel in the move they are at the Forbes Ave side.

@USHighway101 They're modernizing it as much as they can, given the constraints. The right-of-way for PA 28 is squeezed by a cliff on one side and a railroad on the other, so the upgraded highway will only have emergency pull-off areas instead of full shoulders, and the way the ends of the intersecting bridges (31st and 40th Streets) are built necessitates on- and off-ramps on the left. As a result, it will be a limited-access highway with a relatively low speed limit of either 45 or 50 MPH.

Since PA 28 is a state highway and not an Interstate highway, it does not have to fully conform with modern Interstate standards. In spite of that, the upgraded segment of highway is bound to be a dramatic improvement over the obsolete and dangerous segment that it replaces.
