Pittsburgh Bridge Slide Set for July

Pittsburgh’s Parkway East bridge replacement is set to transform the city with a historic engineering feat: a brand-new bridge will be slid into place next to the old one, starting Monday, July 10th, with a full month-long closure impacting Commercial Street, Forward Avenue, and the Nine Mile Run Trail. Residents, calling the old route a vital lifeline, brace for major detours and lifestyle changes — some even planning to work from home — while PennDOT celebrates the test slide as a milestone in Pennsylvania’s largest bridge project ever. It’s a trade-off between progress and daily life, but the city’s getting a front-row seat to history. Support the show:Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
