WEST MIFFLIN, Pa. -- Pittsburghers are getting a glimpse into the future of Kennywood Park.

Park leaders will unveil expansion plans Wednesday that could double the number of attractions inside the park.

The Blue Sky Expansion Plan is tied to the completion of the Mon-Fayette Expressway.

That 70-mile project will connect Pittsburgh to Interstate 68 in West Virginia.

In addition, the park will announce the purchase of an additional 23 brown field acres.
