Visit Pittsburgh said the closures are “necessary to support event infrastructure, enhance public safety and create a seamless fan experience” for the draft.
“Hosting the NFL Draft is a once-in-a-generation opportunity for Pittsburgh, and we’re committed to ensuring both residents and visitors can experience it with ease,” said Jerad Bachar, president and CEO of Visit Pittsburgh. “By pairing thoughtful planning with free, accessible transit options, we’re making it simple for everyone to be part of this moment while keeping our city moving.”
During Pittsburgh Pirates home games at PNC Park, there will be adjusted traffic patterns and access routes so fans can make it to and from the North Shore, according to Visit Pittsburgh.
