PITTSBURGH (KDKA) — Film crews have infiltrated downtown Pittsburgh.

The shoots for the film “One Shot” will lead to several road closures and detours overnight.

While it’s exciting to have movie stars in town, the traffic is not so exciting for drivers and bus riders.

Five Port Authority bus routes were affected Monday night.

However, overnight rain put the filming on stand by. The roads were open for Tuesday’s commute, but another scheduled filming will take place tonight.

The following areas could be shut off to traffic from 7 p.m. Tuesday until 8 a.m. Wednesday:

Strawberry Way from Grant to Liberty
Coffee Way from Sixth Avenue to Strawberry Way
Montour from Sixth to Seventh avenues
Smithfield from Sixth to Seventh
William Penn Place from Sixth to Seventh

Buses will be detoured and there will be intermittent traffic control at several other locations.

Is anyone else really sick and tired of movie filming in Pgh? I sure am… really messes up traffic and is a huge inconvenience to 95% of the people in the city.

This is a huge boost to the local economy. Other cities would die to have movies filmed in their cities. Think of the hotel rooms rented, local people being employed and the overall positive aspects this brings to our City!!!

Tom Cruise is smoking hot, he and his wife can tie up traffic as long as they like.
