==Roads== Aside from the historical genesis of the town as a toll intersection and stagecoach stop, one of Delmont's notable characteristics is that it is the meeting point of two major highways, U.S. Route 22 and State Route 66. These roads were not directly intersected for many years but were linked by a [[cloverleaf interchange]]. Delmont became known for this interchange; many local merchants incorporated "Cloverleaf" into their business names. In 2000, the "cloverleaf" system was dismantled, and a [[single-point urban interchange]] was built in its place. This change was made to accommodate the widening of Route 22, one of Pennsylvania's most heavily traveled roads. The interchange on Route 22 marks the boundary between suburban [[Pittsburgh]] and the more rural foothills of the [[Appalachian Mountains]]. Other notable roads within Delmont's borders include Old William Penn Highway, which begins at the termination of Pittsburgh Street, just west of Route 66, and Manor Road, which begins on the west side of Route 66 as well, just across from Greensburg Street, and runs from 66 through the southeastern portion of the 22/66 corridor until it reaches Route 22 outside of city limits, as 22 goes toward Export and Murrysville.
