Red Line detour has ended.

The Red Line is back on regular route for the rest of today and tomorrow due to station renovations ending early.

Reminder: Last weekend for Red Line detours.

The Red Line will be detoured again this weekend as Port Authority contractors will renovate the Fallowfield T Station platforms in Beechview. This is the final weekend for this work.

Red Line operations will be affected from Saturday's start of service until Sunday's end of service. During this time, service to Red Line stops will be provided by a combination of detoured Red Line service, bus shuttles and local light rail shuttles.

Change to September service adjustments.

The change to O12 McKnight Flyer's Downtown routing and stops will not go into effect on September 6, 2011 due to construction of the Seventh Avenue/Crosstown Expressway bridge.

O12 buses will remain on their current routing until the construction is over and the bridge reopens.

Port Authority will announce an official date for the O12 routing change at a later time.

The O12's extra trips will still go into effect on September 6.

Partial East Busway Closure Aug. 20-21

Port Authority's Martin Luther King Jr. East Busway will be closed between Neville Ramp and the East Liberty Bus Division this weekend so that City contractors can work on a new pedestrian bridge between Ellsworth Avenue and the Eastside retail development. The closure will detour the P1 East Busway-All Stops bus route and temporarily close the Negley and East Liberty busway stations.

The P1 will detour primarily via Centre and Penn avenues. P1 riders who normally use Negley Station should use stops on Centre at Negley (inbound) and Centre at Negley/Giant Eagle Market District (outbound) during this time. For riders who normally use the East Liberty Station, the P1 will stop on Penn Avenue at Target (inbound) or Penn opposite Target (outbound). Delays are possible due to the P1's use of local roads. View more detour information.

The closure will go into effect with start of service Saturday. The stations and busway portion will reopen for Monday's start of service.

For more information, call Customer Service at 412-442-2000 or for TTY, 412-231-7007.

Headlines: Study says most transit systems cutting service, raising fares.

Port Authority is not alone in its need for reliable transit funding. According to the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review, a recent study from the American Public Transportation Association showed that more than half of the nation's transit system cut services or raised fares since 2010 due to funding issues and rising costs.

Red Line Work Resumes Next Three Weekends

Red Line work postponed from July will resume this weekend and continue for the remaining weekends in August.

Port Authority contractors will renovate the Fallowfield T Station platforms in Beechview August 13-14, August 20-21 and August 27-28, detouring Red line service.

The Red Line will be affected each Saturday and Sunday from start of service until end of service. During this work, service to Red Line stops will be provided by a combination of detoured T service, local light rail shuttles and bus shuttles.

Red Line service will detour in both directions over the Overbrook line (where Blue Line T service operates), serving its normal stops Downtown, at Station Square and at South Hills Junction, then serving Boggs through Willow stations before continuing on its regular routing to South Hills Village. At Willow, riders can transfer to the local light rail shuttle that will operate in both directions between Overbrook Junction and Potomac. Inbound rail shuttle riders must board from outbound side at Mt. Lebanon and Dormont Junction after 8 p.m. Sunday, August 14 and Sunday, August 21 due to maintenance in the Mt. Lebanon rail tunnel.

Bus shuttles will offer inbound and outbound service to riders who use Red Line stops between Station Square and Potomac Station, with shuttle stops located close to T stops. At Station Square, riders may transfer to buses or the T to continue into Downtown Pittsburgh. At Potomac, riders may transfer to the local light rail shuttle for service to stops between Kelton and Overbrook Junction.

Regular operations will resume in time for each Monday's a.m. commute.

Closures of East Busway, Wabash Tunnel This Week Due to Filming

Multiple detours and temporary closures will take place this week within the Port Authority system due to filming of The Dark Knight Rises.

The Wabash Tunnel will be closed all day Wednesday, August 10 and Thursday, August 11 due to filming in the area. The closure does not affect Port Authority service, but motorists who use the tunnel should plan alternate routing.

Also on Thursday, numerous bus routes will detour due to a partial closure of the East Busway between 26th Street in the Strip District and the busway's Downtown entrance near Liberty Avenue and Grant Street. The closure will be in effect from start of service through approximately 3 p.m. During the detour, East Busway routes will not serve Penn Station; temporary stops will be on Liberty Avenue in front of the Greyhound Station (inbound) and Amtrak Station (outbound). The busway is expected to reopen in time for the afternoon rush.

Additionally, station annunciators will be silenced at Steel Plaza and light rail vehicle annunciators will be silenced at Wood Street and Steel Plaza on Thursday due to nearby filming. This will be in effect from start of service until approximately 7 p.m., or when filming finishes. Production representatives and Port Authority staff will be on hand to assist visually-impaired riders.

Many other bus routes will also be detoured due to filming throughout Downtown this week. Details on these detours as well as the busway and Wabash Tunnel closures are available on our website.

Even if their bus route is not detoured, riders should expect delays throughout the week due to filming-related traffic controls and changes in traffic patterns.
