Fort Pitt Bridge Cleaning To Mean Lane Restrictions

The Fort Pitt Bridge will be reduced to single lanes in each direction starting Tuesday for cleaning.

Single lane closures will occur as needed from 10 p.m. to 5 a.m. weeknights through July 1, according to PennDOT. Only one direction will be restricted at a time.

Crews from Thornbury, Inc. of Sunbury, will be doing the cleaning. Outbound restrictions will be coordinated to minimize impacts on traffic leaving downtown events.

Motorists are advised to use caution, slow down, and expect changing traffic patterns when traveling through the area. Log on to 511pa.com or call 511 from any phone to check traffic conditions on major roadways before traveling.
