Expansion

Recently the U.S. Congress has designated an expansion of I-376 past the Downtown Pittsburgh area and along present day I-279 past the I-79 intersection and westward along Pennsylvania State Route 60 through the Pittsburgh International Airport and north to Interstate 80 in Sharon, Pennsylvania [1]. This would make I-376 the first highway to depart its parent highway east of Pittsburgh, cross over (like the proposed I-95/I-195 crossover on the New Jersey Turnpike near Trenton when the I-95/Pennsylvania Turnpike interchange is completed in 2009) its parent highway at the New Castle exit, where PA Route 60 is part of the Pennsylvania Turnpike system, and ending at another major Interstate. This routing requires some major infrasturcture work on U.S. Highway 22 west of Downtown Pittsburgh and on PA Route 60, though both are presently limited access highways they are not up to national "interstate standards".
