FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE - The Sixth Avenue entrance to Steel Plaza Station will be closed for one week starting Monday, October 21. ​ 

The closure will allow PRT’s contractor to install a new sidewalk and curb for the University Line’s Steel Plaza Station. All other entrances will remain open. 

PRT's Board awarded Independence Excavating of Cheswick a $27.9 million construction contract for Phase I in March 2023. Construction began in September 2023 and includes five transit stations on Fifth and Sixth avenues in downtown Pittsburgh. Construction on the first phase expected to be completed in Spring 2025. 

PRT has budgeted $291 million for the total project, more than half of which is federally funded.
