  • Stay in the right lane on 376 and take Oakland Exit 5 which becomes Forbes Avenue. At end of ramp, merge onto Forbes, which is one way.
  • Past the Oakland business district is the University of Pittsburgh's Cathedral of Learning tower located at Bigelow Boulevard. Just beyond it is Bellefield Avenue where Forbes becomes a two-way street.
  • Continue in right lanes of Forbes Avenue past University of Pittsburgh tower. Forbes switches to two way traffic at Bellefield Avenue so stay in the right-hand lane following straight ahead on Forbes. (CAUTION!!! left-hand lanes head into oncoming traffic).
