Photos progress westward and are generally WB.


Heading east on Bowman Rd., one of the most interesting of the old US 22 alignments. The first photo is at the St. James Parish parking lot.


Old US 119 merges in from the right and then the fun begins. This old arch just west of New Alexandria is an abandoned railroad that once paralleled Loyalhanna Creek.


There's also a very obvious stub where Galando Rd. comes in, which once led to a bridge across Loyalhanna Creek to Main St. in New Alexandria.


Heading back west to the concrete wye where US 119 once separated (left) from US 22.


The old alignment leading west along Bowman Rd. ends with a relative whimper compared to its east end, petering out in the driveway ahead as Bowman Rd. turns left.


Old US 22 crosses a 1924 bridge as it heads east from White Thorn Rd. on a dead end. Your choice of an old bridge plaque on the right or deteriorated concrete on the left.


Running out of road (2 photos) and heading back west to White Thorn Rd. (2 photos).


Continuing west to the other end of that old alignment past Fenneltown Rd., cut off by the higher alignment of modern US 22 from Croft Rd., then back east in the last photo out of the inexplicably widened cul-de-sac.


Speaking of Croft Rd., the east end is nondescript, but you can make out the old concrete under the asphalt at the west end.


Enjoy some old keystones, WB with the last one EB. Newlonsburg is now part of Murrysville.


Skipping Business US 22, McCrady Rd. is a short stub of original US 22 from the west end of Bus. US 22 into Bullock Pens Park in Churchill. Photos look east at where it's cut off by I-376, then back west.


The dying art of state-named shields is among the old WB signs along Penn Ave. into Wilkinsburg, ending at the Princeton Blvd. gate. I think the weight limit was previously 3½ tons.


Now into Pittsburgh, starting at Main St. in Lawrenceville and going to the 31st St. Bridge.


Penn Ave. goes all the way through Pittsburgh and comes out at the Fort Pitt Bridge, now part of I-376. The first photo is I-279 crossing over Point State Park.
