East Liberty Expressway

Proposed in 1963 as a part of the Pittsburgh Area Transportation Plan, the East Liberty Expressway was proposed to relieve the Penn-Lincoln Parkway East of about 20,000 vehicles a day.  Interchanges would have been constructed at the following locations:

• Oakland Crosstown Freeway (Cancelled)
• Liberty Avenue
• Broad Street
• Northern Circumferential (Cancelled)
• Brushton Avenue
• Verona Road
• Rodi Road Expressway (Cancelled)

This expressway's life came to an end in the mid-1970s when the Department of Transportation dropped the axe on urban expressway construction.
