This secluded section of Pittsburgh known as Fairywood sits on far western edge of Pittsburgh next to Crafton and Thornburg .
It has several large warehouses in one section and a strange section of divided highway less than a mile long which runs on its edge. Which runs along Chartiers Creek.
So what was this highway built for and what was its purpose?
Its called The Industrial Highway it was started in 1972 and was suppose to connect from The West End Bridge to the nearby Thornburg Bridge and eventually I -79 but the project was abandoned in 1974
It would have been a great relief to those who are forced to take I -376 also known as Parkway West
due to constant traffic back ups and wrecks But Penn Dot and City of Pittsburgh shut it down and abandoned it.
So it sits and deteriorates with occasional motorist who checks it out or those who want to race on it.
Just one of many proposed and then abandoned projects in the City of Pittsburgh and total waste of Taxpayers Money.
