PITTSBURGH — Frick Park will remain closed until further notice, city officials announced Saturday morning, as government inspectors begin to determine what caused the bridge carrying Forbes Avenue over the park to collapse early Friday.
Though the city’s Department of Parks and Recreation announced the closure of all trails and woods around 10 a.m., there were still people strolling through the park beforehand, particularly close to the site of the Fern Hollow Bridge wreckage, where crews were beginning clean-up work.
The actual crash site hadn’t changed much in the day that had passed since the bridge collapsed into the ravine just before 7 a.m. Friday. Above the site, however, first responders and government officials had been replaced by cranes and recovery workers.
