## Resource

PennDOT’s about to drop some serious explosives on the Commercial Street Bridge—yes, really—part of a major replacement project that’s already shut down Parkway East for 25 days. The blast, scheduled between 1 p.m. and 9 p.m., will clear the way for the new bridge to slide right in. Drivers are stuck with chaotic reroutes, but the good news? The Parkway should reopen by early August. And if you love big demolition moments, PennDOT’s livestreaming the whole thing. It’s a massive infrastructure upgrade with all the usual commute headaches—and a whole lot of boom. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
