This project, in the Strip District neighborhood of the City of Pittsburgh, will replace an existing 36-inch valve at this location.
Progress & Status
Starting the evening of Monday, January 5th, 2026, three of the four lanes on Liberty Avenue in the Strip District will be closed around-the-clock between 2525 Liberty Avenue and 2625 Liberty Avenue. The three lanes closed will include both outbound lanes and one inbound lane.
Liberty Avenue outbound will detour from Liberty Avenue to 25th Street to Smallman Street all the way to 30th St and back to Liberty at 30th Street.
This Liberty Avenue closure will allow Pittsburgh Water to complete excavation to replace a 36-inch diameter valve as well as two additional excavations to install temporary waterstops to ensure continued service during the valve replacement. The anticipated work will take approximately 7 working days depending on field and/or weather conditions
Once the work is complete, the site will be temporarily restored. The site will be fully restored on a later date this spring, access in both directions will be permitted during that time.
