## Resource

Pittsburgh’s Parkway East is shutting down for 25 days to replace the Commercial Street Bridge—sending shockwaves through commutes and neighborhoods. Residents brace for gridlock, while PennDOT urges drivers to ignore GPS shortcuts and stick to official detours. One local, Johnny Willett, is already plotting his moves, hoping crews stay on schedule. When it’s done, things may return to normal—but for now, expect chaos, reroutes, and major headaches.
