Traffic Copter

[MR25]

So Boulevard to Veterans is closed for the long haul?

[Shyster]

I may have misstated. I don't think any of the ramps from Grant to 376 are affected. It's the Boulevard between Grant and the Liberty Bridge that is closed.

[dodint]

No, it's me, I was confused when I read an article about it the other day too. I basically just wanted to know if I could still go from Grant to 7th to that Bigelow/Liberty Bridge split but still take the Monroeville exit that snakes around down the Blvd to 376 past Duquense.

That one isn't closed at all. Vets Bridge —> Crosstown —> Boulevard is closed through next Tuesday. Boulevard —> Crosstown —> Vets bridge (that is, the other direction) apparently isn't affected by this.

I got destroyed by this yesterday. The ramp from Crosstown? (above the park) to Blvd is closed. I ended up being forced over the Liberty bridge then taking 51, and then through Munhall, and Dravosburg (wtmf?!?!), to get to McKeesport, and back to Rt. 30. Pretty day for a drive, but yowza.

Yup. My commute home went from an hour and 10 minutes on Monday to 40 minutes today. Thanks, PennDot.

i had a beautiful commute this AM

pulled up the traffic tracker on waze based on slappys note above and looks like tunnel inbound is closed

[dodint]

Wow, noted. Thanks.

[MrKennethTKangaroo]

Today indeed was a gr8 day for commuting

[shafnutz05]

Tomorrow should be even better. Days like tomorrow when I wish I worked in the government/financial sector.

[dodint]

4:45am is a great time to drive through the city. And I'll get off at 2:30pm so it should be an easy trip out. Should be.

Some dolts got in an accident on Route 8 by those two lights that are 50 feet apart. Been sitting here for almost 15 minutes at a standstill.

[LITT]

hopefully everyone is ok

[dodint]

Had to go let the Verizon installer into my house on Wednesday. The time it took from when the gate when up at the downtown garage until I pulled into my driveway was exactly 20 minutes. What sweet bliss.

[dodint]

According to the radio traffic was terrible pretty much everywhere today. Happy Monday.

Took me 45 minutes to make it my 10 miles. Hoping it's an anomaly or that going a little earlier will help.

MR25, those two lights are bizarre. Since it was bumper to bumper that entire 5 miles before getting to 28 a car actually got stopped at the second light, which meant it was pretty much in the middle of the intersection. No chance I don't run that light in that situation. In fact, most of those red lights are signals for side roads that are generally empty. I assume the lights are timed instead of sensored because there is a lot of unutilized roadway at those signals.

I take it you moved up to the N.H. Today was a bit of an outlier for traffic on a Monday. Not sure why. Way worse than normal.

[Morkle]

Major traffic after Robinsons, presumably because of the new construction. Looks like I'm going through Neville island for the foreseeable future.

Yeah, I catch 8 at Burchfield, right before the Giant Eagle heading south.

[MrKennethTKangaroo]

is the liberdy bridge open tonight

Due to a tractor trailer (re: mail truck) flipping and catching fire this morning on the turnpike eastbound near the Allegheny Valley exit. I had to reroute and take Rte 8 in to work today. What a mess. A 35 minute commute turned into 75 minutes

[dodint]

Sorry I dragged my bad karma into your commute.

[MR25]

That explains a lot
