Beginning at 8pm May 16, crews will be replacing tracks and concrete at a grade crossing at Willow Street. Because of its location, this work will impact all three rail lines.
-
Between May 16 to May 29, work will be on the inbound tracks, so riders using St. Anne, Willow, and Overbrook Junction should use the outbound platforms to travel inbound or outbound. The Red Line will operate between downtown Pittsburgh to South Hills Village except for weekday mornings and afternoon rush hours (6-9 a.m. and 3-6 p.m.), when it will only run between downtown Pittsburgh and Overbrook Junction. Riders using stations south of Overbrook Junction during these times should board Blue Line rail cars.

Between May 29 to June 16, crews will switch sides to replace the outbound rail. Riders using St. Anne, Willow, and Overbrook Junction should use the inbound platforms to travel inbound or outbound. The Red Line will be operating as normal, from downtown to South Hills Village, during that portion of the work.
-
Additionally, rail cars will continue to terminate at Penn Station (adjacent to the East Busway) through May 31.

Riders on all rail routes may experience delays of up to 40 minutes while operators wait for oncoming vehicles to pass.
- Crews will be replacing tracks and concrete at a grade cross at Alfred Street. Rail cars will single-track between Overbrook Junction and Dormont Junction, using the Red Line Short temporary rail shuttle.
- Between June 16 and June 27, work wil be on the inbound tracks, so riders using Overbrook, Castle Shannon, Arlington, Poplar, Mt. Lebanon, and Dormont Junction should use the outbound platform to board all inbound and outbound rail vehicles.
- Betwen June 27 and July 28, work wil be on the outbound tracks, so riders using Overbrook, Castle Shannon, Arlington, Poplar, Mt. Lebanon, and Dormont Junction should use the inbound platform to board all inbound and outbound rail vehicles.
- The Red Line will be closed from Overbrook Junction to South Hills Junction to accommodate several rail projects. During this closure, all Red Line trips will be detoured via the Blue Line and will be renamed “Blue Line” to avoid confusion.
