Southside Trail-Segments 2 & 3

Project Status

This project achieved the highest level of federal funding possible at 80% of the total construction budget. It was released for construction with a construction mobilization date of May 20th and an early 2026 completion timeline. Mass grading was delayed for a period of time above D.H. Stanton Park (Segment 3) due to the discovery of a brownfield. Work has resumed on the storm detention pond in this area as plans for clean-up of the hazardous materials are solidified. Brownfield soil haul off will resume and continue over the next couple of weeks to facilitate the installation of storm piping adjacent to D.H. Stanton Park. Rehabilitation of the bridge over Pryor Road has begun and the concrete deck will be poured before the end of February. Concrete facing will begin on the h-pile retaining wall installed near Pittsburgh Yards. While the pouring of the concrete trails are still tracking to be poured by the end of February ’26, the section of trail on Segment 3 from D.H. Stanton Park to Milton Avenue are now reported to have trail poured by the end of March ’26.
