Saw Mill Run road closure

A significant closure of Saw Mill Run Boulevard is set to begin Thursday night at 9 p.m. for bridge demolition near Woodruff Street in Pittsburgh, impacting traffic for nearly a month. The bridge, approximately 95 years old, is being demolished due to maintenance issues, with work expected to be completed by August 26. PennDOT has stated that the road will be closed in both directions from Woodruff to Crane Avenue, prompting drivers to seek alternate routes. Local residents express frustration over the detours required to navigate the area, with some noting the inconvenience it will cause. Additionally, utility work will lead to rolling single-lane closures on Saw Mill Run Boulevard on Wednesday, adding to travel disruptions in the region.
