Pennsylvania Route 576, the Southern Beltway, is a partially-completed highway in the southern suburbs of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, United States. Upon completion it will serve as a southern beltway around the metro Pittsburgh area from the Pittsburgh International Airport to the historic Steel Valley of the Monongahela River.
The first section of the highway from Pennsylvania Route 60 (future Interstate 376) near the Pittsburgh International Airport to U.S. Route 22 opened on October 11, 2006 at 3 p.m. The toll for this section is 50 cents for a passenger car. Construction on the next segment of the beltway between US 22 and Interstate 79 is pending the result of a public review of an environmental study.[2]
Although PA 576 runs north-south between PA 60 and US 22, the route is signed as east-west to reflect the routing that the completed beltway will take.[2]
