Port Authority Announces Super Bowl Service Detours

PORT AUTHORITY ANNOUNCES SUPER BOWL SERVICE DETOURS

Pittsburgh, PA -- In cooperation with the City of Pittsburgh Bureau of Police as well as other local, regional and state police departments, Port Authority of Allegheny County will detour transit service on Sunday, Feb. 6 starting at about 9 p.m. and lasting through the end of service that night.

The detours will begin as police close streets throughout the city in anticipation of post-Super Bowl activity. Many Port Authority bus routes will be detoured in Downtown Pittsburgh, the North Shore, Lawrenceville, Oakland and the South Side, and limited stops will be served in these neighborhoods. In addition, T service will be detoured Downtown -- the Wood Street T station will be temporarily closed and the T will serve Penn Station (located at the East Busway entrance). The T will continue to serve the Steel Plaza and First Avenue stations.
