See the notice below. This repaving is sorely (literally) needed.

Milling and Paving on Pittsburgh’s South Side
GAP Mile 145 | Reported on October 30, 2025 | Last Updated: October 30, 2025
The City of Pittsburgh is milling, flattening bumps, and repairing a culvert along the asphalt section of the Great Allegheny Passage on Pittsburgh’s South Side on October 30 and 31. This is a three mile section between Hot Metal Street and Haysglen Street (under the Glenwood Bridge) paralleling the Monongahela River. Please slow down and follow instructions from flaggers or construction workers when traveling this section. The GAP remains open during milling.
Once milling is complete, the City of Pittsburgh will repave this section with a smooth topcoat of new asphalt, tentatively scheduled for Monday, November 3. In order to accomplish this task, this section will be closed on that date. The Great Allegheny Passage Conservancy will underwrite a free shuttle service between 9:00 am and 5:00 pm that day. The shuttle will travel between the SpringHill Suites Pittsburgh Southside Works at 2950 South Water Street, Pittsburgh, PA 15203 and where the GAP crosses Haysglen Street under the Glenwood Bridge. The shuttle is first-come, first-served. Please wait on the sidewalk or out of the path of traffic.
If heavy rain delays the milling or paving, we will update this page.
