Abandoned U.S. Highway US 22 & US 119 New Alexandria Pennsylvania

also see www.stuffthatsgone.com In 1948 the original alignment of US 22 and US 119 in New Alexandria PA was re-aligned to accomodate the Loyalhanna Dam. The old road was now in the flood plain. This route had been in place since 1921 and for the first time the William Penn Hwy bypassed New Alexandria. A Beautiful bridge built in 1935 to replace a covered bridge was flooded over the first year in use, due to the St Patricks day flood in Pittsburgh. The bridge survived unused until the late 1970's when it was totally removed. It should have been saved. Enjoy the old Pennsylvania Railroad Bridge Arch which is all that remains! Check my Flood Video of this same place in March of 2010. Sorry for the Reference to Pittsburgh EAST in the narration --it was Traveling WEST to Pittsburgh!
