Fireworks on barge, set to illuminate Pittsburgh skyline for July 4th

PITTSBURGH — Fireworks have been placed on a barge, ready to go for Pittsburgh’s EQT Flashes of Freedom Fireworks display.

You can watch Pittsburgh's fireworks display LIVE starting at 9 p.m. Wednesday on Channel 11 and on WPXI.com.

The fireworks are covered in tarps Monday, but come Wednesday night, they’ll be illuminating the downtown Pittsburgh skyline for the Fourth of July.

Crews worked all weekend to set up 2,000 fireworks -- and they still have thousands more to go.
