Parkway East Closures - how to find out when?

Does anyone know how I can found out about Parkway East closures for future dates? I am going to Pittsburgh for a family reunion July 19-20, but cannot find anything to tell me whether there will be any lane closures on the dates I%26#39;ll be there. Even my aunt who is organizing didn%26#39;t know for sure. Thanks!

Parkway East Closures - how to find out when?

Thanks. It looks like I%26#39;ll just have to wait until the week I%26#39;m going - which is problematic since lane closures (or the entire eastbound freeway, which is a possibility) would change where I make my hotel reservation. I%26#39;m not much of a gambler, but I guess I%26#39;ll have to take a chance one way or the other - either further away from the reunion, or risk getting stuck on the way.

If you are close to the turnpike just take it into Monroeville area bypassing the Parkway headache.

Another alternative route is Ohio Turnpike to Allegheny Valley exit which will take you to the eastern suburbs without the Parkway. Would be able to help you a little more if you gave an idea of your destination off the Parkway.

Thanks for the detour info. We%26#39;re heading east, out past Monroeville one day (Murrysville), have to go to South Hills another, and want a day at Kennywood for fun. I was looking for a centrally located hotel, and the one my dad wants to stay at is the Holiday Inn Parkway East. It has mixed reviews, but is by far the best location - if we%26#39;re not stuck in traffic trying to get to/from. Do you think Monroeville might be better?
