Pittsburgh Regional Transit announced that several T stations along the Blue Line will be closed for maintenance over the next few weekends.
Closures will take place every Friday from 8pm until the start of service on Monday, unless otherwise stated in the list below. On Thursdays before the closure, passengers will only be able to board and alight in the first carriage of two-car trains.
The schedule for station closures is:

Those who absolutely must use the Red Line should board at Castle Shannon Station or Washington Junction.

The closures allow workers to apply an epoxy coating that seals the concrete and prevents water from entering the concrete platforms.
Due to the Labor Day holiday, there will be no work on the weekend of August 31st to September 2nd.
Similar maintenance work is also planned for October and possibly November.
