Pittsburgh’s Parkway East is shutting down for 25 days to replace the old Commercial Street Bridge—expect major traffic chaos. PennDOT urges remote workers to stay home, with big companies like PNC already complying, while UPMC stays mum on remote work and Highmark sticks to in-person. Pittsburgh Regional Transit is pushing buses and light rail as your best bet to dodge the gridlock. Buckle up—this bridge swap is going to be a real test for commuters.
