PRT’s contractor recently established a new work zone on Sixth Avenue between Wood Street and Liberty Avenue, adjacent to the K&L Gates building to construct Wood Street PRTX Station.

When construction is complete, this station will have a new 30-foot bus shelter (adjacent to the K&L Gates building) with an ADA compliant loading zone, new roadway, new expanded sidewalk, new granite curb and accessible ramps.

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

Last winter, the contractor installed new water and drainage infrastructure, new concrete roadway, new expanded sidewalk, new curb and accessible ramps at Wood Street light rail station, across the street. 

Sixth Avenue is closed to inbound traffic between Wood Street and Liberty Avenue. Vehicles on Liberty Avenue can turn right to travel inbound onto Sixth Avenue. The sidewalk remains open across from the work site.

Construction fencing is expected to remain in place 24/7 until Summer 2025.
