Construction
Digital Access
As the Beltline enhances mobility through infrastructure, this Smart Corridor project includes installing 22 smart hubs of technology across the 18 miles of open Beltline trail. These sites will all include public Wi-Fi access zones and a digital wayfinding kiosk.
Near the Marketplace locations additional technologies will be piloted including smart trash cans and camera visualization AI technology. The Pittsburgh Yards access point and Freedom Parkway Marketplace locations will also include the Nourish+Bloom autonomous grocery container concept and EV Charging stations somewhat adjacent to the sites.
Project Status
With the World Cup underway, construction at the sites will ramp down over the next few weeks to accommodate the larger crowds on the Beltline. Updates include:
The Freedom Parkway, Irwin, Pittsburgh Yards, and Glenwood sites are nearing completion. Final device installations and punch list items will finish out the sites in the coming weeks.
The Nourish + Bloom autonomous grocery container concept has opened at the access point to the Beltline behind Pittsburgh Yards. The Freedom Parkway location will finish out its interior over the next few weeks to prepare for opening.
