Tractor-Trailer With Uneven Load Shuts Down Parkway East

PITTSBURGH (KDKA) – The Parkway East was shut down for over an hour while authorities tried  to balance out a tractor-trailer with an uneven load.

The tractor-trailer was reportedly carrying metal coils, when the shipment shifted.

It has since been reopened.

PennDOT said parkway traffic from the Ft. Pitt Bridge was detoured onto Grant Street.
