Commercial Street Closure Extended

Pittsburgh’s Swisshelm Park is in for a major headache: Commercial Street, a key artery, is now set for a month-long closure from June 29 to August 3—way longer than the originally promised one-day test. Residents say they were blindsided, with PennDOT only recently finalizing dates and posting signs without prior notice, sparking frustration and a sense of being disrespected. The extended shutdown, needed for prep work ahead of the bigger Parkway East project, will disrupt commutes, school buses, and access to essentials. PennDOT urges locals to sign up for email alerts to stay updated as this summer’s disruption unfolds. Support the show:Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
