Sixth Avenue (between Grant Street and Ross Street)

PRT’s contractor recently began shelter installation on Sixth Avenue between Grant and Ross Streets (adjacent to Mellon Green) for Steel Plaza PRTX Station. After shelter installation is complete, the contactor will reduce the size of the fence and reopen the sidewalk. 

When the University Line construction is complete, Steel Plaza Station will have two 60-foot bus shelters with ADA compliant loading zones, new concrete roadway, new expanded sidewalk and new granite curb with accessible ramps.

Station amenities will include a ticket vending machine, emergency phone, security camera(s), seating, lighting and new wayfinding signage.

Last year, the contractor installed new water and drainage infrastructure, new roadway, new expanded sidewalk, new curb and accessible ramps. In addition, electrical crews ran conduit that will supply power to the new bus shelters and new traffic signals.

Construction fencing is expected to remain in place until the shelters are installed, and station components are tested, which is expected to happen in Summer 2025.
