why not make a tunnel under 322 at the new light and not have a light at all..... why 3 lanes into chambers hill... everyone is going to spit up and try to pass each out going right into two lanes again... i'm seeing a people getting cut off here over 1 spot in traffic... not saying all the Hershey part traffic that doesn't know what to do already.
My family lived in suburban Pittsburgh for 21 years. I always remembered the thrill of driving through the Fort Pitt Tunnel after a long family trip....it was so good to be "home!"
In Germany, this would have taken at least 10 years and cost 10 billion euros, only to find out at the end that the statics weren't right and start all over again.
Im not in your state, but as a driver and sometimes a bicyclist or scooter rider, I much prefer the canopy of trees over my roads. I live in a place where summer temperatures can exceed 100(f) and sunlight on asphalt just magnifies the temperature making the roads inhospitable for everyone. The shade is a welcome relief.
Pennsylvania should obtain info as to what old Social Security Number cards look like. They told me I had to go get a new Social Security card despite the fact that my old ID card was entirely valid, which was a penalty for older individuals. And it was all because PennDOT was ignorant as to what old SSN cards looked like.
I remember when me and my ex-wife had brought friends up from the Tidewater area of Virginia for a visit back home. The awe and amazement they had from seeing the downtown area from exiting the Fort Pitt Tunnel was very memorable. That view experienced by first timers seeing it makes Pittsburgh what it is... a diamond in the rough.
Yinz ! Lol did a fantastic job with this video & I've watched it several times and will continue to watch it and share it !!! I live eight miles outside Downtown Pittsburgh & work as a truck driver in and around or beautiful city , I drive threw the tunnels and across the bridge almost daily and our one of a kind city entrance views are spectacular !!!

Don’t drive under the influence of drugs? How hard is that? You can’t smoke when you get home? That much of a junkie that you need to constantly smoke 24/7?
I did the 2 day beginner course in October 2023 at Pittsburgh Mills mall. I personally thought it was great. I rode dirt bikes for many years prior so im not brand new to 2 wheels, but never rode an on road motorcycle. I definitely learned a lot over the 2 day course and feel the class is 100% beneficial for any skill level rider. The best part is it did not cost me a dime and upon successful completion of the course you are awarded your motorcycle license. I have now put 2000 miles on my bike and have already used some of the skills learned out on the road.
5:08 - I take some issue with the thought that "there weren't trolleys as there were in the past". Pittsburgh's extensive trolley network was mostly intact and in service until 1960. Supposedly there was even some talk of putting car tracks on the Fort Pitt bridge during planning, but that idea was quickly dismissed. The West End routes were lost when the Point Bridge closed, and the North Side routes followed in fairly short order. The first time I went through the tunnel in 1975, I thought our school bus was driving into a building against a hillside. And I have never tired of that spectacular view exiting the tunnel inbound. The New York Times said Pittsburgh is the only city with an entrance.
