Downtown Roads Being Shut Down For Pittsburgh Pride Weekend
PITTSBURGH (KDKA) -- It's a busy weekend in the city with Pittsburgh Pride events taking center stage.
There's a big concert Saturday and the Equality March on Sunday.
That will require some road closures.
On Saturday, it's the Pride in the Street event from 6 p.m. to 12:30 a.m., headlined by pop star Kesha.
Because of that, part of Liberty Avenue will be closed to vehicles.
The closures begin at 4 a.m. Saturday between 9th Street and Grant Street and Smithfield Street from Liberty to 7th Avenues. Those roads will remain closed through 11:59 p.m. on Sunday.

The parade route begins at the Boulevard of the Allies, turns left onto Grant Street in the outbound lanes, then left onto Fifth Avenue, left onto Liberty Avenue and ends at Liberty and Stanwix.
