It’s going to be a challenging couple of nights for motorists who plan on using the inbound Fort Pitt Bridge and tunnel in Pittsburgh this weekend. Overnight closures are scheduled for Friday and Saturday night, weather permitting.
PennDOT says the closures are being put in place to allow crews to replace existing pavement markings with new, durable pavement markings on the inbound (eastbound) upper deck of the I-376 Fort Pitt Bridge,
The work will be done from 9 p.m. to 10 a.m. each night.
