Construction Begins Today on Market Square Modernization Project
Construction on the highly anticipated modernization of Market Square officially begins today, launching a yearlong effort to enhance one of Pittsburgh’s most iconic public spaces.
As work gets underway, the public is advised that traffic patterns in and around Market Square will shift to accommodate construction activity. Construction starts in the north half of the Square (including McMasters, Market & Graeme Streets) with one-way, northbound traffic (on Forbes, from Wood Street to Stanwix Street) on the south half of the Square, through the summer. Later this year, construction will shift to the south side, with traffic rerouted to the north. Pedestrian access will be maintained throughout, and all merchants will remain open for business during the construction period.
The Pittsburgh Downtown Partnership and city officials will provide regular updates and coordinate with local stakeholders throughout construction. For more information, visit DowntownPittsburgh.com/MarketSquareUpdates.
Motorists can check conditions on more than 40,000 roadway miles, including color-coded winter conditions on 2,900 miles, by visiting www.511PA.com. 511PA, which is free and available 24 hours a day, provides traffic delay warnings, weather forecasts, traffic speed information, and access to more than 860 traffic cameras.
511PA is also available through a smartphone application for iPhone and Android devices, by calling 5-1-1, or by following regional twitter alerts accessible on the 511PA website.
