PITTSBURGH — Construction on the Parkway North has forced the postponement of the 2017 Pittsburgh Triathlon & Adventure Race.
The bike portion of the event, which was scheduled for Aug. 12-13, typically goes onto the Parkway North, but the HOV lanes are closed.

Organizers said the costs of shutting down city roads for the two-day event would be a “financial liability” for Friends of the Riverfront and P3R, the nonprofit organizations that put on the triathlon.
Anyone who already registered for the triathlon will receive a full refund within 10 days, organizers said.
