Pennsylvania Route 51

Pennsylvania Route 51 (PA 51) is a major state highway in Western Pennsylvania. It runs for 89 miles (143 km) from Uniontown to the Ohio state line near Darlington, where it connects with Ohio State Route 14. Route 51 is the termination point for Pennsylvania Route 43, Pennsylvania Route 48 and Pennsylvania Route 88. Century III Mall is located on this road in West Mifflin. The Route is a major connection from Uniontown and the rest of Fayette County to Pittsburgh.

The highway is four-lane highway south of Pittsburgh as it passes through Pittsburgh's South Hills, but narrows to a two-lane road through several boroughs along the Ohio River. It becomes four lanes again after passing Racine in Beaver County and continues to the Ohio border. In the South Hills, Route 51 (Saw Mill Run Blvd.), along with US 19, is one of the major routes in and out of Pittsburgh, as it provides access to several bridges and tunnels. Route 51 is one of the highways that enters the West End Circle, an intersection in the West End.

    The route through childhood is shaped by many forces, and it differs for each of us. Our biological inheritance, the temperament with which we are born, the care we receive, our family relationships, the place where we grow up, the schools we attend, the culture in which we participate, and the historical period in which we live—all these affect the paths we take through childhood and condition the remainder of our lives.
    Robert H. Wozniak (20th century)
