Liberty Bridge closure planned

The Liberty Bridge in Pittsburgh will close at 8 p.m. Friday and remain closed through 5 a.m.. Monday, weather permitting, so crews can continue deck reconstruction work.
The outbound Liberty Tunnel and PJ McArdle Roadway will remain open the entire weekend. A single lane will remain open in the inbound Liberty Tunnel, with traffic able to turn only right onto PJ McArdle Roadway.
Traffic stoppages of 10 minutes or less will occur as needed on the Parkway East (Interstate 376) in both directions during the entire weekend as a precautionary measure while deck reconstruction occurs. The restrictions will occur in the area of the Liberty Bridge between the Fort Pitt Bridge and the Oakland/Forbes Avenue off-ramp in the eastbound direction and between the Second Avenue and Grant Street interchanges in the westbound direction.
All Liberty Bridge traffic will be detoured during the closure.
