ROUGH PROFILES OF SOUTH HILLS TUNNEL AND THOROUGHFARE ROUTES

pic

The high-level tunnel reaches existing streets at Washington Avenue. From this point is planned a system of thoroughfares, which, if constructed, would reach all parts of the South Hills. These thoroughfares are indicated by dashes beyond the junction of the tunnel with Washington Avenue.

The Bell House or low-level tunnel is indicated by a dotted line. It is an approach to the West Liberty Road and would give easy access only to the territory reached by that road and to other territory in the nearby valley bottoms.
