Downtown Pittsburgh is gearing up for some temporary changes as Duquesne Light Company initiates a crucial power transfer to its new substation.
According to the Post-Gazette, this power shuffle is set for the nights of Oct. 28 and Oct. 29, beginning at around 10 p.m. each evening. The transition, which hinges on the reliable transfer of electricity from other sources, will cause temporary outages not exceeding 30 minutes, barring any unforeseeable complications.
Residents are bracing for a momentary lapse in their nightly routines as the outages are projected to happen in several parts of the Golden Triangle. The affected streets and avenues include the bustling corridors of the Boulevard of the Allies and Fort Pitt Boulevard, among other arterial routes. On top of these electrical interruptions, there will be some road work, lane closures, and diminished parking availability due to the project's extensive scope, as detailed by WPXI.
