Outbound Liberty Tunnel To Close Again Next Week

PITTSBURGH, PA - On the bright side, the seemingly endless rehabilitation of the Liberty Bridge and tunnel will conclude. But that won’t happen until next February, which means you can expect more inconvenience next week in the vicinity of the span and tunnel

The outbound tunnel will be closed from 8 p.m. to 5 a.m. each night from June 4-8, PennDOT announced. Crews will install electrical conduit and cables, work on safety and control systems, and integrated equipment installation.

The inbound tunnel will not be impacted. All outbound traffic will be detoured.

If you’re not familiar with the detour by now, here it is again:

Outbound (southbound)

• Turn right onto PJ McArdle Roadway
• Continue straight onto Merrimac Street
• Turn right onto Woodruff Street
• Follow Woodruff Street to Route 51/19 (Saw Mill Run Boulevard)
• Turn left onto Route 51/19 and follow back to Route 19 (West Liberty Avenue)
• End detour

Alternate outbound (southbound) route:

Use the outbound Fort Pitt Tunnel or West End Circle to Route 51.
