Standing Detour - Emergency Closures Of A Portion Of The Library Line
Between Library (Simmons) Station And Lytle Station (Mesta Stop)
Begins: 1/1/2026 12:00:00 AM
Ends: 12/31/2026 12:00:00 AM
Summary:
As necessary, during unplanned emergency closures of the southern portion of its Library Line, Pittsburgh Regional Transit will temporarily close a section of that line to effect repairs, requiring the temporary termination and turn back of Silver Line - Library rail service at Mesta Stop & Crossover, followed by staging at Lytle Station, while replacement buses will be deployed as soon as possible between Library (Simmons) Station and Lytle Station.
As needed, this will occur during outages caused by downed foliage, power outages or sever weather that damages the infrastructure.
Light rail service will remain intact as far south as Lytle Station (and Mesta Stop) with cars stopping and turning back at a maintenance crossover switch just outbound of Mesta Stop.
Replacement buses will service the remainder of the line from Lytle Station to Library (Simmons) Station.
Silver Line - Library replacement uses will run as close to scheduled rail times as possible.
During this situation, all rail stops between South Park Road and Library (Simmons Station cannot be served. Buses will serve corresponding temporary stop locations nearby along either Library (SR 88) or Brightwood Roads.
Sandy Creek Stop due to topographical limitations will not have its own temporary stop; passengers must use temporary stops on Library Road at and opposite the West Library Park & Ride Location.
Upon completion of emergency repairs, full light rail service will be restored.
For emergency situations closing the entire Library Line, please refer to Detour Notice #26-015-0.
Closures caused by planned work or improvements will be provided its own Detour Notice with specific dates and times of the planned work.
