The Port Authority has announced detours and temporary stop changes for approximately 45 routes serving Downtown and the Strip District on Saturday for the St. Patrick's Day Parade.

Here's a quick snapshot of the changes from the authority:
— Routes serving the Strip District will be detoured as early as 7:30 a.m., with other detours around 9 a.m. Regular stops and routing should be restored around 2:30 p.m.
— During the parade, South Side/South Hills bus routes will terminate at Station Square, where riders can catch the T for free into downtown. Second Avenue bus service will terminate at First Avenue T Station and Oakland/Hill District/Penn Hills routes will terminate near Steel Plaza T Station. All T rides within Downtown are free.
— The 28X Airport Flyer will not serve Downtown during the parade. Riders may take the T to Station Square to catch the detoured 28X. P1 East Busway-All Stops riders must pick up their route at Penn Station during the parade.
