Traffic on I-376, I-79 sees hours-long delay Thursday morning

PITTSBURGH — Pittsburgh-area highways saw major delays early Thursday morning.

A crash involving a tractor trailer and a truck happened on the Fort Pitt Bridge at around 5:30 a.m.

The crash cleared at around 7:30 a.m., but Channel 11′s Trisha Pittman said the back-ups piled up from the crash and sunglare.

PennDOT maps showed heavy delays from the bridge to Rosslyn Farms.

Pittman said inbound traffic on I-376 was backed up for around two hours. Traffic on I-79 was also impacted by the delays.

The Carlynton School District took to social media to say due to construction and traffic congestion in the Carnegie area, school buses may be running behind by around 20 minutes.
