PITTSBURGH — Parking restrictions along Forbes and Fifth avenues and nearby streets in Uptown Pittsburgh will begin on Tuesday.
Contractors with Pittsburgh Regional Transit will perform milling and paving work as part of the University Line bus rapid transit project.
Construction is scheduled to take place Monday through Saturday from 7 a.m. to 6 p.m. Drivers should expect traffic delays during working hours, though bus stops will not be impacted by the project.
Milling and paving will take place along the left side of Forbes Avenue from Shingiss Street to Pride Street, as well as from Jumonville Street to the Birmingham Bridge. While parking is already restricted along those sections of Forbes Avenue, drivers will be prohibited from parking on the corners of side streets at intersections within the work zone.
Parking will also be prohibited on both sides of Fifth Avenue from Diamond Street to Sixth Avenue and on Sixth Avenue from Fifth Avenue to Forbes Avenue. Additional parking restrictions will be enforced at intersections along the active work zone.
Beginning Oct. 9, construction crews will begin milling and paving Fifth Avenue from Craft Avenue to Kirkpatrick Street. Motorists should anticipate temporary intersection closures while crews apply asphalt to the roadway.
The milling and paving work is weather-dependent and is expected to continue through the end of October.
