Swindell Bridge opens ahead of schedule, next closure scheduled for summer

PITTSBURGH (KDKA) - The Swindell Bridge has opened ahead of schedule, according to the city. 

The bridge was expected to be closed all this week, Monday-Friday, as the city's contractor finished the first part of the work to restore deteriorated steel beams on the bridge.

A second closure will tentatively take place in late June. 

The City of Pittsburgh Department of Mobility and Infrastructure has said they will provide more information on that closure in the coming weeks.
