Proclaimed "the only city in America with an entrance" by the New York Times, the spectacular skyline and rivers of Pittsburgh seem to explode as you emerge from the city's primary southern entrance, the Fort Pitt Tunnel, and onto the Fort Pitt Bridge. Built in 1959, the Fort Pitt Bridge connects downtown Pittsburgh to/from I-279 via the Fort Pitt Tunnels.
