Construction for a traffic calming project will impact several roads in a Pittsburgh neighborhood.

City officials say three parallel routes in East Allegheny are the subjects of construction: Concord Street, Tripoli Street between Madison Avenue and Chestnut Street and Suismon Street between Madison Avenue and Chestnut Street.

Crews will build speed humps on each street and install permanent signage and pavement markings. The project is expected to start on Wednesday and last for two days, weather permitting.

During construction, each street will intermittently close. Through traffic should seek alternative routes, but local residents will be able to get through as the construction allows.

These roads are getting a traffic calming project because 2023 data found more than 60% of vehicles sped on Chestnut Street. City officials say that indicated a strong need for intervention to reduce cut-through volume and driver speed in the neighborhood.

China's $47B semiconductor fund puts chip sovereignty front and center
China has closed a third state-backed investment fund to bolster its semiconductor industry and reduce reliance on other nations, both for using and for manufacturing wafers — prioritizing what is called chip sovereignty. China's National Integrated Circuit Industry Investment Fund, also known simply as 'the Big Fund,' had two previous vintages: Big Fund I (2014 to 2019) and Big Fund II (2019 to 2024). The latter was significantly larger than the former, but Big Fund III is larger than both at 344 billion yuan, or about $47.5 billion, public filings revealed.
