[edit] The 376 Expansion

If 376 is being expanded that much to end back at 76, then wouldn't it be possible that it could be changed to an even-first-digit designation? Has AASHTO sounded off on this matter yet? EmiOfBrie 23:47, 13 December 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Expansion graphic

I think the new graphic, from the Post Gazette, is questionable from a fair-use standpoint. We can't just use other people's illustrations because it's easier than making our own. —Cleared as filed. 04:23, 3 February 2006 (UTC)

Agreed. --SPUI (talk - don't use sorted stub templates!) 12:55, 5 February 2006 (UTC)

[edit] I-376 to be north-south on Parkway West?

Does anyone know if once 376 takes over the Parkway West and PA Route 60, will the portion of 376 currently containing 60 go north-south, with the switch back to east-west occuring in Pittsburgh when 376 goes back to the Parkway East, or will the entire route remain east-west? Also, I plan on posting a pic of one of the "Future I-376 Corridor" signs that were recently posted along PA Route 60 in the near future. Jgera5 01:55, 10 May 2006 (UTC)

I'd guess east-west, given that it is mostly east-west, and carries US 22 and US 30. It was I-76 from 1970 to 1972. --SPUI (T - C) 00:26, 20 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] New picture from the same vantage point

I was the person that uploaded the first of the three images on this page in chronological order, the vantage point from downtown. I will take another picture from the same vantage point and try to get a better picture...the picture that I uploaded was taken on a regular camera and then scanned in, when a digital picture, like the ones I uploaded to the I-279 and I-579 pages, would probably look a whole lot better. I did use a different screen name for the upload...I had to change my name because I lost the code to it by not using it for about a month and not writing it down. (User, Enlightenedment).

[edit] Extension to 79

Has there been anything about the renumbering of 279 to 376, which was approved by AASHTO? --SPUI (T - C) 01:21, 20 May 2006 (UTC)
