  • Dotted lines from the upper left to center show the proposed path of the Fort Pitt Tunnels, which would speed traffic headed for Pittsburgh on Banksville Road from the South Hills suburb of Pittsburgh into the Golden Triangle. In the lower right is the partially completed traffic interchange at the south portal of the tunnels. To the left is the West End with the West End Bypass already completed, and to the right is Route 51 South leading to West Liberty Avenue and then to Brentwood and Pleasant Hills. Shown in the distance on the other side of Mount Washington is downtown Pittsburgh. The 3,600-foot-long, twin-tube structure was dedicated on September 1, 1960.
