Northeast Hills is located just north of downtown Pittsburgh. It is unique for a few reasons. The first reason is the University of Pittsburgh is located along highway 76. The second reason is the city has the most unique highway interchange in the entire metro area. The third reason is the city has the second biggest bridge crossing, where I-76 crosses the shallow north ridge river. The fourth reason is the city is the leading area for new development. Before anything really gets decided the city gets tested on. If it fails then whatever was built either gets torn down or left and re modled. The city just recenlty finished I-76 and now you can travel from the furthest suburbs through downtown and on to the airport without getting off the highway and traveling through downtown Pittsburgh. Many citizens were very angered when this project came into affect, but city leaders discussed with residents saying that the region is growing and they needed another way to travel around the city.
