## Resource

For 25 days, I-376’s eastbound lanes in Allegheny County will be shut down as PennDOT replaces the old Commercial Street Bridge with a new one — causing major traffic chaos. Emergency services are prepping with specialized detours and backup plans, with EMS feeling the biggest impact. Chief Matt Brown and hundreds of public safety agencies have coordinated training, 911 system checks, and worst-case scenario drills with utilities and hospitals like UPMC. Pittsburgh’s Swissvale fire department is already staging vehicles — ready to respond when the closure begins Friday night at 9 PM.
