Web map shows street and sidewalk restoration sites as well as water, sewer, and green stormwater projects.

As PWSA’s investment in water, sewer, and green stormwater projects increases, so does the necessary concrete and asphalt restoration work. All utilities, including PWSA, are responsible for the work to restore streets and sidewalks to their original condition after construction work is complete. 

Some restoration sites are due to emergency repairs of water leaks or sinkholes where a portion of sewer was replaced, which are completed by our field operations team. Other restorations are planned water or sewer sites that were completed by a PWSA contractor crew. When work is complete, the locations are marked in our mapping system and given to the restoration project team. This year, there are eight contractor crews dedicated to PWSA restoration work, which involves stripping streets down to their base, building them back up, pouring new concrete sidewalks, laying bricks, and landscaping. 

As of mid-July 2021, there are over 800 restoration sites that are planned or in progress. Over 1,000 sites are completed, which accounts for about 50% of the total work. This translates to a nearly $700 million investment in Pittsburgh sidewalks and roadways to-date, with more work to come.

Check restoration sites on new, improved project map

This July, PWSA unveiled its new-and-improved interactive project map that now includes future street and sidewalk restoration sites. Sites are shown as light and dark gray diamonds on the map, with light gray showing planned sites, and dark gray showing sites planned or in progress right now. Sites that are in progress have been issued to the contractor and must be completed no later than 45 days from the date they are issued.
