Traffic on Mingo Road backs up at 61st Street during the p.m. rush hour. Mingo Road carries a lot of traffic in the area, as the Mingo Valley Expressway ends at 51st Street, and traffic uses the street to access the expressway. Work is under way on extending the expressway to 71st Street, which should be completed in 1989. The congestion will continue for a while at the intersection, as there are no funded projects to improve it. Photograph taken June 1988.
