2nd Ave, Bluff

The Penn Lincoln Pkwy is the major East-West distributor on the south side of the city. Formed from the William Penn Hwy it is a major thoroughfare for the city workers. During peak hour, West bound travel in the afternoons, and East bound in the mornings, can be quite congested and slow moving.

To the West it becomes the William Penn Hwy for the journey to West Virginia. You'll also pick up the Orange Belt on your way to, or from, Pittsburgh International Airport. Heading east, as you emerge from the Fort Pitt Tunnel to cross the Monongahela river, you will be faced with a picturesque view of the city. West bound travellers use the lower deck of the Fort Pitt bridge and as such are offered no such view when departing the city.

Travelling East from the city, the Penn Lincoln Pkwy eventually re-forms as the William Penn Hwy just shy of the Pennsylvania Turnpike.

On a clear day, or in the evenings overlooking the city lights, the East bound approach is worth it just for the view.
