Whenever an officer is shot in the line of duty, you can expect a large number of funeral cars to accompany the Cadillac hearses to the cemetery. But when three officers are shot, expect even more.
That’s exactly what’s going to happen today in the Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania area. Three officers were shot by a disgruntled man on Saturday and their funerals are being held tomorrow. Hearses and funeral cars are going to need ways to get around, so here are some of the street closures and rules so you can change your routine for the next 24 hours.
• Grant Street will only be open to one lane for each direction. There will also be parking restrictions on this street.
• The Blvd. of the Allies, Ross Street and Second Avenue will all have parking restrictions in effect to make room for officers to park as they pay their respects.
• The procession begins at noon on Thursday. It starts at the City County Building and goes north on Grant Street. The procession of funeral cars will end at the Petersen Events Center in Oakland. You can read the itinerary of the procession here in case you need to make adjustments or simply pay your respects as the funeral cars drive by.
