The Pennsylvania Turnpike Commission announced this week that there are now more ways to access a shortcut to the Pittsburgh International Airport, south of the city. In October 2021, the Southern Beltway, also known as PA Turnpike 576, partially opened, and now the full interchange is open where the beltway and I-79 meet. The beltway connects Interstate 79, in the Southpointe area to the airport. Since the initial opening in October, nearly 8,000 vehicles a day, have used the new route, according to Turnpike officials.
