New & returning student move-in has begun at Pitt, and parts of Bigelow, Lothrop, and University streets will be closed later this week:
- Bigelow Blvd between Fifth and Forbes will be closed during the day Wednesday through Friday, re-opening at 7pm on Weds. and 3pm on Thurs and Fri. PAT hasn't posted a detour, but the 54C will continue straight on Fifth, skipping the stop at Carnegie Museum; I'm not sure if it'll just go up and turn left on Craig or if it'll go down Dithridge to Forbes and back up Craig to service the South Craig stops. . . .
- Lothrop St will be closed daytime W-Sat, and the part of University Dr near the hill dorms will be closed daytime Weds.--Fri.
Traffic in Oakland will be generally heavy and confused for the next few days---that is, even more so than usual--- and probably not returning to normal for a couple weeks. Just avoid it if you can. . . .
