The bike system in Allegheny County is growing.

It got another boost Wednesday afternoon, when county Executive Rich Fitzgerald announced that bike lanes are coming to three county-owned bridges in Pittsburgh.

The Andy Warhol Bridge at Seventh Street will soon boast one bike lane from Downtown to the North Side and one in the opposite direction in connection with the start of the Pro Walk/?Pro Bike Conference that runs from Monday through next Thursday at the David L. Lawrence Convention Center, Downtown.

Construction of the lanes is set to begin after the morning rush hour today and should be completed by Friday. The lanes will be temporary and will be removed after Sept. 13. But two other bridges will see the addition of permanent lanes, Mr. Fitzgerald said.
