PORTION OF RIVERFRONT TRAIL IN CHATEAU TO CLOSE DUE TO EROSION
Closure Begins Thursday, June 26; Detour via Metropolitan Street
Pittsburgh, PA – The City of Pittsburgh will temporarily close a section of the riverfront trail in the Chateau neighborhood due to surface damage caused by erosion. Beginning Thursday, June 26, the trail between Branchport Street and N Franklin Street will be closed to all pedestrian and bike traffic.
During the closure, trail users are encouraged to follow a detour via Metropolitan Street. Signage will be posted to direct traffic safely around the impacted area.
“Safety comes first,” said Mayor Ed Gainey. “We know this closure is inconvenient, but it’s necessary to protect the public while we assess the damage. We’re moving quickly to find a solution and get this vital trail reopened as soon as possible.”
The City will provide updates as more information becomes available.
