Pittsburgh Regional Transit's board officially votes to close Wabash Tunnel
Drivers who use Pittsburgh's Wabash Tunnel are mourning the Dec. 1 closure of the more than 100-year-old tunnel. Pittsburgh Regional Transit's board voted to close the Wabash Tunnel on Dec. 1 due to the cost of needed repairs and low number of drivers using it. The tunnel, which is more than 100 years old, is expected to cost approximately $43 million in repairs to critical tunnel safety components. Only 1,500 drivers use the tunnel daily, according to PRT. The closure leaves open the possibility of the tunnel reopening down the line, but the cost will increase as time progresses. The transit agency has maintained the tunnel for years, despite not having regular transit service through it.
