 Interstate 279 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Interstate 279 (abbreviated I-279) is a north-south interstate highway spur that lies entirely within Allegheny County, Pennsylvania.
The best-known landmark on 279 is the Fort Pitt Tunnel and Bridge due to its "surprising" view of the Pittsburgh skyline.
In fact, the I-279 designation was once used for the sections of Interstate 79 west of Pittsburgh, with the idea being that once the North Hills extension was completed, that the highway west of the city would be numbered Interstate 279, and the highway running through Pittsburgh would be numbered as Interstate 79.

 Interstate 279 Pennsylvania @ Interstate-Guide.com
Interstate 279 originates at the Interstate 79 and U.S. 22-30 interchange near Carnegie, then extends northeast through the vicinity of Crafton and Green Tree before entering Pittsburgh.
The construction culminated with the opening of the 2,500 foot ramp that carries Interstate 279 northbound motorists from the Fort Pitt Bridge east to Interstate 376 and U.S. 22-30 east, the Penn-Lincoln Parkway East.
This shortening of Interstate 279 is likely to occur in 2008 or later, depending upon the timing of improvements required in association with the upgrade of the various freeways that will eventually come under the designation of Interstate 376.

 High Priority Corridors @ AARoads.com: Monongahela-Fayette Expressway and Southern Beltway (Corridor 31)
However, the extension to Interstate 376 from that point is under dispute because it infringes on several heavily populated neighborhoods.
Given the fact that it is too long for a 3di and the fact that Pittsburgh is served by only two 2-digit interstates (Interstate 79 and Interstate 76), I would not doubt if local leaders are praying for a 2di designation -- though none seem to be left within the basic grid pattern.
Nevertheless, it was formerly part of Interstate 70 and is currently signed as Interstate 279 and Interstate 376.

Originally I-79 was to have taken Interstate 279's alignment, going into Pittsburgh, while I-279 would follow I-79's alignment west of the city.
