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
Work is underway on multiple locations as our subcontractor eX2 and their subcontractors continue to advance site development work for our smart corridor project. Work will include:
Freedom Parkway concrete is complete and curing. The Nourish+Bloom autonomous grocery container will be delivered to the site down Willoughby Way early the morning of Tuesday, May 19th for placement and be served initially by temporary power. The wayfinding kiosk will be installed at the site later that same week.
The Irwin Marketplace and Pittsburgh Yards access point locations are under construction.
The next locations in the queue include 10th & Monroe, PCM South, and New Realm.
An installation of a 4’ to 6’ safety fence, depending on the conditions, and silt fencing around the area will take place.
No permanent blocking of pedestrians/trail will be done and any temporary moving of equipment through/in this area will utilize cones and a person for traffic control.
