    PITTSBURGH, April 28 /PRNewswire/ -- In preparation of the final phase of
this year's work on the Fort Pitt Bridge project, Brayman Construction Corp.
will make restrictions to the following routes near the northern end of the
West End Bridge from 7:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m., beginning Monday, May 1.
    --  The left lane of Fontella Street between Sproat Way and Western
        Avenue will be closed.
    --  The left lane of Ridge Avenue between Fontella Street and Western
        Avenue will be closed.

        will be restricted.

    These restrictions will occur through 6:00 p.m., Saturday, May 6, and will

to the Fort Duquesne Bridge, Fort Duquesne Boulevard and Tenth Street Bypass.
