According to the Port Authority of Allegheny County, the Mt. Washington Transit Tunnel is expected to reopen for regular service by August 26.
The tunnel has been closed since July 26 while contractors replaced approximately 480 feet of light rail track and concrete. The Mt. Washington Transit Tunnel provides Port Authority buses and light rail vehicles a quick and convenient shortcut between downtown Pittsburgh and communities south of the city. The tunnel is used by approximately 15,000 weekday and 7,000 weekend bus and light rail riders.
The Wabash Tunnel, which has been open only to inbound traffic during construction, also is expected to resume its regular inbound/outbound schedule beginning August 26. Customers with questions are encouraged to call Port Authority Customer Service
