Portion of Washington Place to Close for Road Work

Portion of Washington Place to Close for Road Work

Pittsburgh, PA - Pittsburgh Regional Transit will close the southbound lanes of Washington Place between Centre and Fifth avenues in Uptown for three days beginning Wednesday, June 24, while crews conduct road repair work as part of the University Line project. 

Traffic to the Marriott City Center hotel and parking garage will be maintained. 

Bus routes 81-Oak Hill, 82-Lincoln, and 83-Bedford Hill will be detoured during the work and will be unable to serve the bus stops at Washington Place at Fifth Avenue and Diamond Street at Boyd Street. Inbound buses will remain on Centre Avenue, turn left at Sixth Avenue, and serve a temporary bus stop at Sixth Avenue at Diamond Street before turning right onto Forbes Avenue to resume regular routing.  

There is no detour for routes traveling outbound. 

The road is scheduled to reopen at 5 p.m. on Saturday, June 27.
