(Pittsburgh, PA) Phase two of a construction project in the Garfield and Bloomfield neighborhoods of Pittsburgh is still underway. The project is being done on Penn Avenue, between Evaline and Graham Streets. The city of Pittsburgh stated that construction is expected to go on until fall of 2027. Phase two of this construction project includes new curbs, ADA-compliant ramps, sidewalks and traffic lights. Traffic going inbound on Penn Avenue will stay the same, but outbound traffic will include detours, and that traffic will be rerouted onto Main Street, Liberty Avenue, Baum Boulevard, and Negley Avenue, then back onto Penn Avenue. Pittsburgh Regional Transit also stated that the construction will also impact its 88 Penn bus.
