62nd Street Bridge reopens after overturned tractor-trailer shuts it down early Wednesday morning
After being shut down for hours due to an overturned tractor-trailer, the 62nd Street Bridge has fully reopened to traffic, dispatch tells KDKA-TV.
Original story follows below.
The 62nd Street Bridge connecting Pittsburgh's Stanton Heights neighborhood and Sharpsburg Borough is closed due to an overturned tractor-trailer.
The tractor-trailer crash happened around 2:45 a.m. on Wednesday.
The bridge is closed in both directions while first responders are working to empty the trailer so that the truck can be uprighted and the bridge can be reopened.
Dispatchers tell KDKA that one person was taken to the hospital. Their condition is unknown at this time.
Alternate routes for drivers impacted by the bridge closure include using the nearby 40th Street or Highland Park bridges.
It's unclear when the 62nd Street Bridge is expected to reopen.
