Heads up, drivers and night owls who traverse Forbes Avenue in Oakland. Starting Monday, August 5, your late-night commutes are about to get more complicated. People's Gas has announced construction work that'll partially shut down Forbes Avenue, from McKee Place to Meyran Avenue, making it a tight squeeze with only one lane open from 8 pm to 6 am, as detailed by the City of Pittsburgh.
For those worried about getting lost in the construction chaos, fear not. Signs and barricades will be posted to redirect traffic and guide weary travelers through the obstacle course that lies ahead. As for an end in sight, the endgame for this urban disruption is tentatively marked for Sunday, October 13.
