The City of Pittsburgh has provided a permit to The Legion of Mary in order that they may perform their 93rd "International Eucharistic Rosary March" on Sunday, October 4, 2026.
The event will begin with the march formation at Epiphany R.C. Church at the corner of Washington Place and 1018 Centre Avenue. The march will then travel via Centre Avenue, left on Washington Place, right on Fifth Avenue, then right on Smithfield Street and right again on Sixth Avenue with a final left on Centre Avenue to its terminus at Epiphany Church at 1018 Centre Avenue.
The march is scheduled to begin at 2:30 PM, continuing until around 3:30 PM. Participation is expected to be in the vicinity of about 200 people.
While event organizers are planning to remain on sidewalks and use pedestrian crossing signals to complete their route, if the attendance is large, Pittsburgh Police may attempt to maintain "rolling closures" for the procession. Buses will need to take standing delays until the procession passes.
Units are to follow the march at a respectable distance, using caution if and when passing and are to take standing and rolling delays as instructed until Pittsburgh Police clear the intersections.

Standing Detour - Emergency Closures Of Homestead Grays Bridge
At times, due to major automobile accidents, inclement weather (primarily snow or ice) or other emergency situations, police, fire and/or other emergency groups from the City of Pittsburgh, Allegheny County, Homestead or West Homestead Boroughs may for a short period of time elect from a safety perspective to shut down the Homestead Grays Bridge and the Browns Hill Road approach entirely until the situation at hand is rectified.
As necessary, the bridge could be closed entirely, or a portion of either the upper section between the Brown's Hill Road approach and the Fifth Avenue Bridge Ramps, or the lower section between the Fifth Avenue Bridge Ramps and East & West Eighth Avenues (SR 837).
A closure of the upper section of the bridge will result in the same detours as a total closure. A closure of the lower section of the bridge may result in different detour possibilities as noted.
Start: 01/01/2026 — End: 12/31/2026
As necessary, during emergencies such as vehicular accidents or extreme ice, snow or flooding conditions, or short term major repairs after such incidents on the McKeesport-Duquesne (Riverton) Bridge, emergency or maintenance crews from Allegheny County, PennDOT or local municipalities (Duquesne, McKeesport) may opt to close the bridge or associated ramps until the situation is rectified. If such conditions and situations occur, once closed, this detour will be activated until the bridge has re-opened. Planned or long term construction closures will be provided as necessary in separate detours at those times.
