which is to be replaced with an expressway. The route's speed
limit is
lowered to 35 MPH, and VASCAR enforced by Pittsburgh Police. This
has been
the scene of many head-on collisions over the years. (Jeff Kitsko) |

After the
intersection with the 31st Street Bridge. Another reason for the
upgrade to
