More deliveries are scheduled for Friday, Monday and Tuesday. PennDOT and the city of Pittsburgh announced a number of ramps and roadways will close as a result.

The following ramps and roadways will close to traffic during the deliveries:

The superload will back up the ramp that carries traffic from South Braddock Avenue to the inbound (westbound) I-376 (Parkway East) at the Edgewood/Swissvale (Exit 77) interchange. The truck will continue northbound on South Braddock Avenue.

Police will conduct the closures and release traffic updates as the superload passes each intersection, according to PennDOT.

Recently, PennStress successfully delivered 14 beams to the Forbes Avenue side of the new Fern Hollow Bridge.
