Roadway Restoration to Continue at Fifth Avenue and Liberty Avenues Next Week
Earlier this week, the PRT contractor began restoration of the concrete roadway on the south side of Fifth Avenue (adjacent to Heinz Healey’s) between Wood Street and Liberty Avenue.
Work on the south side of the roadway will continue next week and is expected to be completed by the end of May.
The north side of Fifth Avenue (adjacent to Triangle Park) will be restored in late spring and will include a full replacement of the sidewalk, granite curbs and concrete roadway. The sidewalk will be expanded to accommodate the new bus shelter and Fifth Avenue will be reduced to two travel lanes.
The PRT contractor will establish an additional work zone on Sixth Avenue between Grant and Ross streets on May 13th.
New Traffic Poles Are Here!
The new traffic poles have arrived, and installation began earlier this week. 35 new traffic signals will support the University Line in downtown Pittsburgh.
Over the next few weeks, the PRT electrical subcontractor will be working weekdays from 9:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. at the following locations:
- Fifth Avenue and Sixth Avenue
- Fifth Avenue and Wood Street
- Fifth Avenue and Grant Street
- Fifth Avenue and Ross Street
- Sixth Avenue and Centre Avenue
Each location has additional work to be performed. The contractor will move between locations to help keep the project on schedule.
Pedestrian access will always be maintained; however, some of the work may require temporary use of the adjacent parking/travel lane.
Thank you for your continued support of this project.
