Warhol Bridge shut down after fire

A fire Friday evening has forced the closure of Pittsburgh's Andy Warhol Bridge until further notice, according to Amie M. Downs, county director of communications.

The fire occurred under the bridge at a homeless camp. As a result, the span, which crosses the Allegheny River at Seventh Street, will require inspection to determine the type and extent of the damage.

Ms. Downs said late Friday that the bridge will remain closed through at least midday Saturday to allow for a hands on-inspection of its affected areas.
