PITTSBURGH \u2014 Nearly 50 Pittsburgh Regional Transit bus routes in and around downtown Pittsburgh will be detoured this weekend to accommodate the city\u2019s 107th annual Veterans Day Parade and the EQT Pittsburgh 10 Miler and 10K.<\/p>\n

Saturday\u2019s parade marks the city\u2019s 107th annual Veterans Day event. The parade route starts at 11th Street and Liberty Avenue, proceeding down Grant Street and the Boulevard of the Allies.

Transit officials noted there is currently no rail connection between Steel Plaza and Penn Station due to ongoing maintenance work in the Penn Tunnel.<\/p>\n
On Sunday, the EQT Pittsburgh 10 Miler will start at Station Square, while the 10K race begins on the North Shore. The course routes through the West End, North Shore, Strip District and downtown Pittsburgh before streets reopen in the afternoon.<\/p>\n
