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. 

Steel Plaza Station will have two 60-foot bus shelters with ADA compliant loading zones, new concrete roadway, expanded sidewalk and granite curbs with accessible ramps.

Station amenities will include seating, lighting, real-time arrival screens, fare fending machines, emergency phones, and security cameras.

Last year, the contractor installed new water and drainage infrastructure, new roadway, 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 by the end of June 2025.
