Glendale Bridge Will Be Closed This Weekend

Traffic that normally uses Carothers Avenue in Scott Township will be detoured through Carnegie.

The Glendale Bridge that carries traffic from Carothers Avenue in over to Carnegie will be closed this weekend for repairs.

The closure will begin at 6 a.m. Saturday and run through 6 a.m. Monday. Traffic from Route 50 will be re-routed through Carnegie.

People who normally use the bridge in Glendale instead should take Route 50 through Carnegie, turn left onto Main Street before taking Third Street. Local traffic, however, will be allowed to access the roads leading up to the bridge.
