Phase 2 of the Allegheny Circle Two-Way Conversion Project will get underway Monday, the City of Pittsburgh has announced.
The project is expected to be completed by the end of 2021, according to a statement from the City.
Allegheny Circle is made up of four streets (North, East, South and West Commons) in the Allegheny Center neighborhood on the North Side. For many years it functioned as a 4-lane one-way ring road.
“The conversion of Allegheny Circle to two-way traffic has long been one of the North Side’s top priorities,” said a post from the City of Pittsburgh on its Facebook page. “The 1950s work in Allegheny Circle was generally considered to be a failed attempt to recreate a suburban feeling in a dense neighborhood.”
