It would be incredible if they actually attached it to 279. That transfer from one to the other is painful as it currently is.

I always thought they should connect it to 579 and number the whole route as such. The 579 designation is way too short and if it were designated an interstate it would qualify for more federal funding

As someone who lives easy access to 79 in the north hills yes! I’d love an easy straight ramp to 28 as most of my family live off of 28 in FC, Blawnox, etc… instead I do the long way to rt 8 then a back way up 910… 🤷🏻‍♀️

I think some city councilman in the 70’s/80’s during 279 planning got them to avoid a 28 connector so as to dump traffic into the lower north side to hopefully drive sales at local businesses. Didn’t really work as the area is much worse now than the 80’s.
