Good news on the Pittsburgh end of the trail. The Mon Wharf "Switchback" is to start construction. The connector will allow you to stay along the river all the way to Point State Park and the terminus of the trail. Currently, you have to negotiate some busy city roads to get there and the signage is very poor in my opinion. So happy this is finally being done!
