The Panther Hollow Bridge in Schenley Park was closed over the weekend based on a recommendation from PennDOT.

It's unclear how long the bridge will be closed.

The city says any needed repairs will be made after further analysis.

Any needed repairs will be completed after a more in-depth inspection.

The detour goes through Schenley Drive, Wightman Street, Beacon Street, and Hobart Street.

“Based on the recommendation of PennDOT and the inspection consultant we will be closing the bridge as a public safety measure until further analysis can be completed. DOMI is working to post barricades and bridge closed signs on Saturday. We hope to have detour signage in place within the next several days,” said Chief Engineer Eric Setzler P.E.
