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.
