A City Built Around a River Crossing
New Kensington sits on the east bank of the Allegheny River in Westmoreland County, about 18 miles northeast of Pittsburgh — a city originally planned in 1891 specifically to house an aluminum reduction plant, which earned the area a lasting industrial identity. The C.L. Schmitt Bridge, a truss bridge built in 1927, still carries traffic across the river connecting New Kensington to the Allegheny County side, and Route 56 and Route 366 both converge here, making the city a genuine crossroads for the Allegheny Valley.
PGH Junk Cars has covered the Route 28/Route 56 corridor, including New Kensington, for over 20 years — whether the call is a breakdown near the bridge or an old car finally ready to be sold.
