A southern beltway is being built around greater Pittsburgh, but it’s under the auspices of the Pennsylvania Turnpike Authority, so any part that is already open has tolls.

Right.

Unless it’s a beltway that goes completely around the city and it’s not tolled; it’s basically for local traffic and useless.

Most cities (even tiny metropolitan areas like Louisville, KY) already have two beltways, not just one (an inner and an outer). And the beltways are not tolled.

Yes; the short-sightedness of the vaunted Democrat Mayor, Davey Lawrence. He literally turned down the funding to build the beltways and yes, fought it tooth and nail.

He screwed the Pittsburgh area for 50+ years already and probably at least another 50 to come.

Couple of things about it, the former confessional is now the liquor cabinet.
I asked an older gent who was the Pizza maker if he felt awkward working like this in an old retired Catholic Church? He said for a couple days BUT, he said the neighborhood use to be residential and went commercial. Over 100 people work there now, folks who weren’t working before. He said his is PROUD.

From 2020...

Pittsburgh has reported a loss of population for the seventh year in a row

This boondoggle won't fix what ails Pittsburgh.
