RIVERVIEW AVENUE IN RIVERVIEW PARK TO TEMPORARILY CLOSE

Closure is set to begin on September 25, 2025 for landslide rehabilitation  

Pittsburgh, PA – The Department of Mobility and Infrastructure has announced that a portion of Riverview Avenue will be closed to traffic starting at on Monday, September 25th, to allow for landslide rehabilitation on landslides 1 & 3. The road is expected to reopen by November 7th although this timeline is subject to shift, if needed.  

There have been 10 landslides identified in the park which can be seen in this park map by numbers. Remediation of landslides marked 6, 8, and 9 have been completed. The remaining five landslides (2, 4, 5, 7, and 10) are being monitored, and remediation will begin once funding is identified. 

During the closure, Riverview Avenue within Riverview Park will be closed to vehicular traffic beyond the Allegheny Observatory and Riverview Park Activities Building entrances to Locust Grove. Access to Locust Grove and the remaining portion of the park loop will be from Mairdale Avenue. Cyclist and pedestrian access will be maintained throughout the duration of the project.  

Motorists traveling South to North on Riverview Ave from Riverview Drive, may continue to do so, although admittance will no-longer be permitted to the Riverview loop.
