PRT Halts Some Downtown ‘T’ Service Monday for Electrical Repairs

Detours through Allentown remain in place during the extended Mt. Washington Tunnel closure.

Overview

  • Inbound rail service ends at Penn Park, with shuttle buses operating along Liberty Avenue to Gateway and stopping at or across from Wood Street.
  • Wood Street Station is closed for the day, and rail service from Gateway continues to North Side and Allegheny stations.
  • Trains from the North Shore terminate at Gateway, and riders bound for the South Hills must take a shuttle to Penn Park to board outbound trains.
  • PRT advises allowing at least 20 additional minutes of travel time, with regular service slated to resume Tuesday morning.
  • The Mt. Washington Transit Tunnel reopening has been delayed due to a design issue requiring track adjustments, with Allentown detours continuing, cost reimbursement sought from the design consultant, and a new timeline expected by mid-November.
