## Resource

Pittsburgh’s Parkway East (I-376) shuts down July 10 for 25 days as crews demolish the old Commercial Street Bridge with a controlled blast and slide in a brand-new one using cutting-edge “ABC” construction. With 100K cars daily, expect major traffic chaos—but detours are pre-loaded into apps, and PennDOT’s urging remote work to ease congestion. This isn’t just bridge replacement—it’s a major infrastructure upgrade, featuring local steel and future integration with the Nine Mile Run Trail, all timed for lighter summer traffic.
