People can fully use Swinburne Street in Pittsburgh’s South Oakland neighborhood again for the first time in seven months, city Department of Mobility and Infrastructure officials said.
A $710,000 project stabilized a slope in the neighborhood that prompted the street to be closed in October between Greenfield Avenue and Edgehill Street. Portions of the street re-opened in March and now the project is complete, city officials said.
The slope was flattened, a concrete block wall was added and the street was repaved, the city said.
The project is part of a more than $2 million effort by the city to make repairs in areas subject to landslides that also include List Street, Semicir Street, William Street, and Forward Avenue.
