Part of the 10th Street Bypass along the Allegheny River in Downtown Pittsburgh will close for nine days beginning at 9 a.m. on Saturday.

The Pennsylvania Department of Transportation said the bypass will be closed between Fort Duquesne Boulevard and the Fort Duquesne Bridge through 6 a.m. April 3.

During that time, Gulisek Construction will repair the concrete surface and upgrade drainage on the roadway. The work is part of a $1.4 million improvement project.

Traffic will be detoured via Fort Duquesne Boulevard.
