(Pittsburgh, PA) According to PennDOT officials, the Parkway East will officially reopen today. 

This announcement comes as workers early last week successfully replaced the Commercial Street Bridge outside of the Squirrel Hill Tunnel.

The opening is ahead of the anticipated scheduled opening date of August 3rd.

A replacement project for the Commercial Street Bridge caused the closure and July 20th was when the bridge was fully moved into place. I-376 was closed to traffic on July 10th.
