Pittsburgh's Wabash Tunnel will permanently close Dec. 1

Pittsburgh Regional Transit will permanently close the Wabash Tunnel to traffic on Dec. 1 after its board voted to approve the closure. The decision follows an evaluation of the tunnel's condition, safety and long-term viability, according to a community announcement.

About 1,500 vehicles use it each day, and PRT no longer provides scheduled transit service through the tunnel. “The Wabash Tunnel has a long history in Pittsburgh, but today it primarily serves private vehicle traffic rather than public transit,” PRT CEO Katharine Kelleman said. “With an estimated $43 million needed to rehabilitate the tunnel, we have a responsibility to focus our limited resources on the infrastructure that is most critical to delivering safe, reliable transit service.” Why PRT is closing the Wabash Tunnel Although the overall tunnel structure remains in fair condition, its lighting, ventilation and electrical systems are in poor to critical condition and have exceeded their useful life. Significant rehabilitation would be required to keep the tunnel open and bring those systems up to current safety standards. The closure will not affect
