The Coast Guard will temporarily close a section of the Ohio River for overhead wire installation

The Coast Guard plans to create a temporary safety zone on the Ohio River near Pittsburgh. This will close a one-mile section of the river to all traffic while workers install new overhead power lines.

This is a routine safety measure for a specific construction project. It means river traffic will be rerouted or paused for a short time in this area. These temporary closures are common for infrastructure work over navigable waterways.
