Greenfield Bridge Reconst: Bus Detours

August 2, 2016

    Bus routes will be adjusted as a regular service change and will be reflected in the timetables.  This will help buses remain on schedule and protect the reliability of the routes for riders. Port Authority developed changes to maintain as much regular routing as possible and to match previous schedules as best as possible.

    52L Homeville Limited/53L Homestead Park Limited

    • Inbound routing will not change between Beechwood Boulevard and Downtown Pittsburgh.  Departure times may change slightly due to new Downtown routing.
    • Downtown Pittsburgh routing will change to Boulevard Of The Allies, Stanwix Street, Fourth Avenue and Ross Street with the same Downtown bus stops at the 58 Greenfield.
    • Outbound routing will change to Second Avenue, Greenfield Avenue, Ronald Street to Beechwood Boulevard with no stops from 10th Street Bridge to Beechwood Boulevard. Outbound stop restrictions will expedite trip speed for long distance riders.
    • Outbound riders along Boulevard Of The Allies in Oakland must use the 58 Greenfield or the 93 Lawrenceville-Oakland-Hazelwood to reach Greenfield.
