Boulevard of the Allies
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Boulevard of the Allies is a road connecting the Oakland neighborhood of Pittsburgh with Downtown Pittsburgh. Some sections are part of State Route 885. The road begins in Downtown Pittsburgh at its intersection with Commonwealth Place and an offramp from Interstate 279. The road continues east through Downtown to Grant Street where it becomes elevated to transition from the flat plain of Downtown to the bluff that Oakland sits on. Before reaching Oakland, it passes by Duquesne University and Mercy Hospital and includes partial interchanges with Interstate 579 and Interstate 376. Upon reaching Oakland, it cuts through the southern portion of the neighborhood and leads into Schenley Park. Upon entering the park across the Anderson Bridge, the road's name changes to Panther Hollow Road and continues through the park to become Hobart Street in the Squirrel Hill neighborhood east of Schenley Park.
The road is named in honor of the Allies of World War I.
