Fort Pitt Bridge, tunnel will be open Saturday night
The inbound Fort Pitt Bridge and tunnel, previously expected to be closed overnight Saturday, will be open to traffic Saturday night, PennDOT announced.
They were expected to be closed overnight Friday and Saturday, from 9 p.m. to 10 a.m., while crews replaced pavement markings on the upper deck of the Fort Pitt Bridge.
But PennDOT spokesman Steve Cowan said Saturday morning that the work requiring the closure had been completed.
“Both the tunnel and bridge will be open to traffic tonight, Saturday, April 15,” he said.
