PITTSBURGH — The Andy Warhol Bridge in Pittsburgh will close for routine inspections from July 21 to July 25 and again from July 28 to August 1, according to the Allegheny County Department of Public Works.

The closures will occur from 6 a.m. on Monday to 3 p.m. on Friday during both periods, allowing crews to safely conduct inspection activities.

During the closures, traffic will be detoured using Fort Duquesne Boulevard, the Rachel Carson Bridge and Isabella Street.
