Part of Spring Garden Road to close starting June 2; PRT announces temporary route changes
Part of Spring Garden Road in Reserve Township will close starting on June 2, and Pittsburgh Regional Transit has announced temporary route changes to accommodate the closure.
The road will close between Ramage Road and Beech Street at 9 a.m., the Department of Public Works says. The closure will last through September.
The DPW says the closure is needed for constructing a roadway support, roadway repairs and curb and pavement marking replacement.
PRT says its 7-Spring Garden route will be detoured using Mt. Troy Road, Ivory Avenue, Evergreen Road, East Street, Mt. Pleasant Road and Beech Street.
Five stops on the route will be temporarily discontinued:
INBOUND
Spring Garden Road opposite No. 3851 (Stop No. 2863)
Spring Garden Road opposite No. 3681 (Stop No. 2864)
Spring Garden Road at Beech Street (Stop # 2865)
OUTBOUND
Spring Garden Road at No. 3681 (Stop No. 2915)
Spring Garden Road at No. 3851 (Stop No. 2916)
Riders at these stops can use a temporary stop on Beech Street at Spring Garden Road, PRT says. Riders at the affected outbound stops can use a temporary stop on Spring Garden Road opposite Beech Street (Stop No. 2914).
If you have any questions, you can contact PRT Customer Service at 412-442-2000, on X at @pghtransitcare, or via live chat at rideprt.org.
Regular vehicle traffic will follow the same detour, using Spring Garden Avenue, Vinial Street, Troy Hill Road, Lowrie Street, Ley Street, Rialto Street, Pittview Avenue and Mt. Troy Road.
People who live in the closure area will have access to their homes at all times, PRT says.
Spring Garden Road is used by an average of 1,960 drivers daily, according to PRT.
The $409,838 project's primary construction contractor is A. Merante Contracting of West Mifflin.

'Don't Waste Money:' Expert Shares Which Fuel Additive to Use Based on Your Car's Problem. Then He Shares How to Use It
Fuel additive fatigue is real. With dozens of brightly labeled bottles lining the aisles of AutoZone and Pep Boys stores everywhere—promising smoother rides, better mileage, or cleaner engines—picking the right one can feel like a guessing game. A viral TikTok video cuts through the noise, offering a symptom-based guide to choosing the right additive without the hype. Chris Stone (@chrisfrombeachside), vice president of Beachside Auto Parts in Daytona, Florida, says he recorded the video to help unfamiliar motorists make the best choice when selecting from the dizzying array of products promising to turn their vehicle into a fine-tuned machine. Stone's advice resonated with his audience. Hundreds shared their preferred additives, asked for additional information, and wrote comments thanking him. As of this writing, his post has been viewed 1.2 million times. How Do You Choose and Use the Right Additive? Between bold claims, cryptic acronyms, and engine diagrams that look like they belong in a textbook, it's easy to feel like you're flying blind. Instead of hype, Stone offers plain-language advice: Choose the product based on your symptoms, like hesitation, rough idle, ticking, or knocking, and you'll have a better shot at actually solving the issue.

Then Her Order Comes in the Mail Man Says He Bought a Nissan Frontier Because of These Standard Features. Should You Consider the Same? If your car is sluggish off the line, Stone advises trying AMSOIL P.I. Burning oil at startup? Marvel Mystery Oil still has a place in the modern garage, according to Stone. And for engines showing signs of knock or ping — especially in turbocharged vehicles — he recommends Royal Purple Max Clean to smooth out combustion. He doesn't stop at recommending products. Stone shares a useful technique for effectively using a fuel additive . He says that for most fuel system cleaners, you should wait until your tank is under a quarter full, pour the additive in, and then drive aggressively (within legal limits) to circulate the treatment effectively before refueling. This helps the cleaner come into more direct contact with injectors and combustion surfaces, increasing its effectiveness. Of course, fuel additives aren't a magic fix. If you've got a check engine light or ongoing performance issues, it's best to get a professional diagnostic. But for routine maintenance, especially with older or high-mileage vehicles, the right additive can play a useful role in keeping your engine running smoothly. When Should You Use an Additive? Most mechanics and product manufacturers recommend using a treatment every 3,000 to 5,000 miles. However, that interval can vary depending on fuel quality, engine design, and driving habits. High-mileage vehicles, cars frequently driven in stop-and-go traffic, or those using lower-quality fuel may benefit from more frequent use. Drivers who use high-grade gasoline may find they need additives less often. This doesn't necessarily mean you shouldn't use a fuel additive if you always buy premium. While many premium fuels contain detergents to keep injectors clean, dedicated fuel system cleaners tend to offer higher concentrations of active ingredients like PEA (polyetheramine), which can clean deeper into the intake valves and combustion chamber. This can be especially helpful for older engines or cars with unknown maintenance histories, where carbon buildup may already affect performance. It's also important to note that compatibility matters. Not every fuel additive is designed for every engine type. Some are explicitly formulated for gasoline engines, while others are safe for diesels or compatible with ethanol-blended fuels. Hybrids and direct injection engines may also have different needs or tolerances. Always check the label for your engine type, and avoid assuming that any additive is one-size-fits-all. The wrong product can reduce effectiveness at best and cause damage at worst. Another point of confusion for many DIY car owners is whether it's okay to mix multiple additives in the same tank. The short answer is no, unless the manufacturer explicitly allows it. Most companies advise using just one additive per treatment cycle to avoid unintended chemical interactions or dilution of key ingredients. It's best to wait until your tank is nearly empty, add the recommended dose, and then refill, following label instructions closely to ensure safe and effective results. 'There's a lot of marketing out there, but nobody knows exactly what's good for what,' Stone told Motor1 over the phone. 'They all claim the same things, but they're all made differently and they have different values for different drivers.'

'Do Not Drive:' Ford Issues a Recall for Super Duty Trucks With Bad Brake Pedals
Ford is warning 2025 Super Duty owners not to drive their pickups. They might have a brake pedal assembly that lacks a retaining spring that's designed to secure the brake booster pushrod to the brake pedal, which can result in the loss of braking power. The recall affects just 2,345 2025 Ford Super Duty trucks, ranging from the F-250 to the F-550. The automaker began investigating the problem in late May after team members at the Kentucky Truck Plant notified Ford's Critical Concern Review Group (CCRG) of a missing brake pedal retaining spring on a 2025 F-350. Photo by: Ford After that, Ford's CCRG reviewed a May 5 report of a service technician having no braking force during a pre-delivery inspection of a Super Duty, with the brake pedal 'swinging freely,' according to the Safety Recall Report . Ford then received a warranty report in early June of another F-350 with a missing spring that a tech found during its inspection. The CCRG, through its investigation, learned that an operator new to the job and still in training had built both trucks with the missing retaining spring. It also found that the camera system designed to monitor production was down during certain periods, so Ford is also recalling those vehicles without sufficient visual evidence that they were correctly built. Ford says it has already begun notifying affected owners. The automaker says it'll instruct them to work with their dealer to complete the inspection, as the automaker does not want owners driving their vehicles.
