stretch of PA 88 is also designated as Library Road. Starting at the Washington/Allegheny County line where Finleyville Thomas Rd. becomes Library Rd., PA 88 runs through South Park, Bethel Park
, Castle Shannon
, and the Overbrook neighborhood of Pittsburgh where PA 88/Library Rd. ends at an "Y" intersection with Pennsylvania Route 51
/Saw Mill Run Blvd.
Three of the six county's colored Belt Routes connect with and/or run along PA 88. Just as PA 88 enters Bethel Park, the southwest beginning/terminus of the Orange Belt at Clifton Rd. is approached. Further up the road, a portion of the Yellow Belt runs with PA 88 from Broughton Rd. in Bethel Park to Connor Rd. in Castle Shannon. In Overbrook, the Blue Belt joins the last 1/2 mile of PA 88 from McNeilly Rd. to PA 51.
. The Pittsburgh-to-New Castle section was largely split off in 1961 to form Pennsylvania Route 65
, in honor of the 65th Infantry Division of the United States Army
during World War II
. The 7.7 mile stretch of PA 88 from PA 65's current southern terminus at the West End Bridge to PA 88's current northern terminus was decommissioned
.
Nonetheless, PA 88's legacy still survives in its former northern section. Four of PA 88's five spur routes
(PA 288
, PA 388
, PA 488
, & PA 588
) are now spur routes of 65, but still retain the "88" base numbers. (PA 88 did retain PA 188 as a spur route.) In addition, a drive-in theater
known as Spotlight 88 in North Sewickley Township
retained its name after the route was rebadged as 65, and is still known by that name as its current incarnation as a flea market
after the drive-in was destroyed by an F3 tornado on May 31, 1985.
. The route was created to allow access to the Pennsylvania Route 43 toll freeway and to allow large vehicles to avoid the large hill into the Monongahela Valley. The center of the route is at the PA 43 interchange, with a two-lane stretch providing access to California University of Pennsylvania
and the surrounding business district, as well as connecting traffic with northbound Route 88; a four-lane stretch provides a more gradual ascent of the hill on Route 88 southbound.
