A bit late for this, but I just heard about it:

Office of Mayor William Peduto

Library Road Scheduled To Be Closed Sunday
Closeure will impact Carrick, Overbrook and Brookline neighborhoods
PITTSBURGH, PA (Septmeber 24, 2014) - The City of Pittsburgh Department of Public Works advises that Library Road, SR 88, will be closed on Sunday, September 28, 2014, between the hours of 7:30 a.m. and Noon. The street closure will enable the removal of large debris from the roadside between McNeilly Road and Saw Mill Run Boulevard, SR 51. Motorists will need to use alternate routes and allow extra time.

I'll be traveling in on an alternate route now, hope this doesn't keep anyone from coming!

I think the closure of Route 88 at Route 51 did a number on attendance. Originally the road wasn't supposed to close until 9am, then overnight they switched it to 0730. I didn't get that memo, and I presume most people who don't travel that road daily didn't know at ALL. So for giggles I started following the detour, which led...no where. It was unmarked past a certain point...unless it picked back up past where I thought it should have led. I flipped a U-Turn and came back through the backside of Castle Shannon, one of the benefits of living around here - knowing the roads. But people coming in from out of town, particularly from the NE & SE who aren't familiar with the area very well might be circling Youngstown still at this hour -- Route 51 N eventually terminates into Ohio...

It was a ghost town when the doors opened, but I think it managed to recover and have a nice day despite the detour, and the simultaneous home Steelers game.
