Summary
Drivers brace for chaos as Parkway East stays closed, forcing major detours and gridlock on Penn and Fifth Avenues—PennDOT’s remote signal tweaks and on-the-ground crews can’t fix the mess fast enough. The real kicker? The old bridge explodes this Wednesday, July 15th, between 1 p.m. and 9 p.m., in Edgewood and Pittsburgh—with safety zones cleared before the blast. Commuters are stuck in longer trips, confused by new routes, while officials urge patience and planning. The demolition’s timing may shift, but for now, expect delays and detours as the city adjusts.
