Knowledge = Caher Paher

Here is the most up-to-date info on Super Bowl Sunday road closures. Looks like this time, the cops are really takin' it to the limit.

The following information comes courtesy of WTAE Channel 4:
Pittsburgh police are continuing to prepare their game plan for Sunday -- a plan that includes massive road closings. The overall intent of the closings is to create core areas where no vehicles will be allowed. Restrictions are set to begin by 9 p.m. People are allowed to be in the following areas on foot or with proof of address. Emergency vehicles, commercial trucks and buses will also be allowed through.
