Another early map of the Lincoln Highway coming into and out of Pittsburgh.

Thanks, All Along the Lincoln Highway.

Lincoln Highway enters Pittsburgh, becomes Fifth Ave

Beautiful Tourist map of Pittsburgh, circa 1920’s.

Thanks to the tumblr called All along the Lincoln Highway.

Recommended Freeway Plan F-1, 1963

yikes!

So glad all of this didn’t happen. it does, however, make some sense as to why the 40th St Bridge, the Bloomfield Bridge, and the Birmingham Bridge are so completely overbuilt as they could have been connected by a highway. Also looks like they wanted Baum.

It also looks like there’s a highway through Schenley and Frick Parks.  Great idea guys.
