PRP alternative route from Pittsburgh?

[Dave King]

Hey guys

I'd like to bypass the parkway east-Murrysville construction and traffic and find a better way to get to the track from Down town Pittsburgh.
Looking at Mapquest the only thing that I can see would be to take the PA turnpike via Cranberry to New Stanton. Then take 66 up to Delmont back to 22.
Anyone go this route or is there a better way to go via the turnpike?

Thanks
Dave

but......... you have construction on rt 30 before Westmoreland mall, then that whole freaking fiasco in Latrobe at the Rt 30/981 intersection. This really depends on time of day, but I sit for 20 minutes to go 1/2 mile at the Latrobe intersection at quitting time.

I would go Turnpike to Irwin, route 30, toll 66 to 22 and then on in. New Stanton is okay, but a bit out of your way versus the short section of toute 30 from Irwin to 66. Actually, I would really go route 30 into greensburg, take 119 right out to new alex, but I'm not sure if you want to try some back roads to get there ;)

either way i go its going to take just as long. anyone know any back ways from greentree?

Take old 22 that's the way I go every day. It parallels 22 and there is no construction whatsoever. All you gotta do is take 22 to the Sheetz in Murrysville, go straight through the light at the Sheetz then make the first left, turn right at the stop sign and your on old 22 AKA William Penn. That'll take you all the way to 66, make a right at Carney's Corner and the exit for 22 is right down the hill.

I'd like to avoid the parkway east and its weekend construction if possible.

EZ
But don't push it and watch out for speed traps. ;)

With the Parkway East intermittent/alternating closure, there is no easy way from the South Hills. :( Road construction all over the area.
