PITTSBURGH — A road and trail will be closed until late January as part of the continuing Commercial Street Bridge Replacement project in Pittsburgh.

Beginning around 7 a.m. on Nov. 17, Commercial Street/Forward Avenue will close to traffic between Whipple Street and Summerset Drive, PennDOT says. The closure is expected to last until Jan. 30.

At the same time, Nine Mile Run Trail will be closed to all bicycle and pedestrian traffic between the Nine Mile Run parking lot on the Swisshelm Park side and the Frick Park Commercial Street Parking lot on the Squirrel Hill side.
