Rep. Lee & Sen. Casey announce federal funding set to help reconnect neighborhoods on Pittsburgh’s North Side (KDKA)

PITTSBURGH (KDKA) – Local lawmakers announced more than $1 million in federal funding will go to reuniting two of Pittsburgh’s neighborhoods split by a highway.

When Ohio River Boulevard was constructed in the 1960s, it cut through and divided the city’s Manchester and Chateau neighborhoods on the North Side.

This funding will go toward a study on how to reconnect the communities while keeping drivers on the roadways safe.
