Getting Around

Construction Updates

Get here from wherever, whenever.

When a city is growing and thriving, it has to face its share of growing pains. Often those pains come in the form of delays caused by construction projects. But don't worry, you can still get Downtown with ease, you simply just need all the facts.


To help ease those traffic woes, we've provided an up-to-date* list of construction projects in and around the city. Please see the table below for details.

*Construction updates are made Monday - Friday during business hours.


HOV Lanes...Did you know?

The High Occupancy Vehicle (HOVs) lanes on I-279 (Parkway North) and I-579 (Crosstown Boulevard) are open to all outbound traffic on Fridays and the weekends after 7 p.m. and remain open until 5 a.m. on Mondays. In addition, the two passenger vehicle rule does not apply during weekend hours. To alleviate congestion and bypass construction, motorists are encouraged to use the HOV lanes to exit the City of Pittsburgh following games and other events downtown on weekends.
