Port Authority to Detour Buses Sunday for Pittsburgh Marathon

About 50 Port Authority bus routes will be detoured with temporary stop changes during the Dick’s Sporting Goods Pittsburgh Marathon Sunday, May 6.

Detours will affect routes throughout various city neighborhoods, including Downtown, the North Side, Oakland, West End, South Side and East End.

Detours will begin with start of service Sunday and are expected to last until about 2:30 p.m.

All routes will remain on detour until this time regardless of local street reopenings. During the marathon, riders should anticipate delays and allow for extra time when traveling.

In Downtown, affected bus routes will be rerouted to serve stops near the Steel Plaza T station, with the exception of South Hills bus routes, where riders may transfer to the T for free.

Additionally, routes normally serving both Squirrel Hill and Oakland will not serve Oakland during the marathon, but a free shuttle will transport riders between the two neighborhoods. 

Less extensive detours will be in effect in Downtown and on the North Side throughout the weekend for marathon set-up and other events, like the kids' marathon and a 5K.

Details on all detours and stop changes are available on Port Authority's website. Temporary signs will not be posted, so riders should be sure to check detour information before traveling and contact Customer Service with any questions.
