A key Schenley Park bridge is back in business, it closed down nearly two years ago.<\/p>\n
Mayor Corey O\u2019Connor and city officials cut the ribbon on the Panther Hollow Bridge Thursday, marking the completion of a major restoration project.<\/p>\n
\u201cOn behalf of everybody, I\u2019m excited to announce that tomorrow, at 7 a.m., the bridge is going to open,\u201d said Mayor O\u2019Connor, thanking the crews for their hard work and residents for their patience.<\/p>\n
O’Connor says getting the project done was important not only for drivers, but for preserving the Panther Hollow Bridge for years to come.<\/p>\n
\u201cThis is a gateway into the East End, into Greenfield, into Squirrel Hill, this is something that is a major road artery that we need, especially when the Charles Anderson Bridge is being worked on over the next couple of years as well,\u201d said O\u2019Connor. <\/p>\n
The Panther Hollow Bridge has been closed since October 2024 after inspectors found issues.<\/p>\n
