PITTSBURGH —

Crews are working to dismantle the NFL Draft stage and remove fencing in Pittsburgh’s North Shore, with road closures expected to return to normal by May 10.

“I think a lot of the work over on the North Shore obviously is going to continue for the next few weeks, so you would expect if you parked there in the past, you’ll be able to, for Pirate games as well. Get them out as quick as we can,” Mayor Corey O’Connor said Monday.

The cleanup began quickly after the draft, but some roads remain closed as part of the process.

“The road closures are going to start lessening. It will start to go back to normal here in the next three weeks,” said Carrie Nolan-Robson, executive director of the Northside Chamber of Commerce.

Phase 4 closures include Casino Drive from Sproat Way, North Shore Drive to Chuck Noll Way, Reedsdale Street to Tony Dorsett Drive, Chuck Noll Way, Tony Dorsett Drive, and I-279 Southbound Exit 1B. These roads are expected to reopen by May 1.

Phase 5 closures, including Art Rooney Avenue, West General Robinson Street to Tony Dorsett Drive, and Scotland Avenue, are scheduled to reopen by May 6.

Phase 6 involves the same roads mentioned in Phase 5, with a reopening date set for May 10.

“We’re already back to more traffic coming in and out, and really, the heart of the footprint of the theater is where most of the deconstruction is happening with the road closures there,” said Nolan-Robson.

As Pittsburgh transitions back to normal, O’Connor shared his thoughts on the success of the NFL Draft.

“I think it was great. It’s a huge win for everybody. I think so many people were excited,” he said.

“We really have put ourselves out there that we’re here to do large-scale events,” Nolan-Robson said.

While May 10 is the anticipated date for the cleanup and road reopening, changes to the timeline are possible.
