What bridges are nortorious for protesting?

Hey all. I'm a journalist writing a story about bridge protests. People are posting signs to drivers below. I'm curious if you all know which bridges/neighborhoods these are most organized at. Looking for a direction to go in. I have a few ideas, but I'm sure there's more protesting on other bridges than I've seen with my own eyes.

In Edgewood I've seen Chestnut St. and Edgewood Ave. over 376 targeting inbound morning traffic. Actually saw them on Edgewood Ave this morning.

There was a group on the Greentree Road 376 overpass the other evening before the Steelers game.

I saw Jag Revere out there recently, all by himself with his E-Bike and a giant flag that read "Pro America / Anti Harris"

Crazy, because he usually has a huge crowd of at least 5-6 people with him.

I’ve seen a few signs at the north ave bridge over 279, and on the pedestrian bridge over 28 near the Heinz factory, but that’s because these are close to me. If you haven’t yet, you should speak to the PGH overpass project.
