Race St Tunnel Closure
Starting Wednesday, April 24, the Race St tunnel will be closed
weekdays from 9am to 3pm. The closure is required to complete the
retaining wall work being done by Norfolk-Southern. Please follow
the posted detour during the closure times. At this time, Norfolk
Southern’s contractor Gregori Construction estimates the closure will
last through the end of June as their work is highly weather dependent.
The pedestrian tunnel at Maple and Edgewood Avenues will remain
accessible and flaggers will accommodate bike and pedestrian traffic
through the main tunnel if it is safe to do so.

Railroad Retaining Wall Rehabilitation
Pennwood Avenue Norfolk Southern has contracted Gregori Construction
to undertake substantial rehabilitation of the retaining wall supporting
the railroad tracks along Pennwood Avenue. The project encompasses the
entire length of the wall in Edgewood and a portion located in
Wilkinsburg. Work is weather dependent but should continue off and on
through the remainder of the year.
Pennwood Avenue will remain open during construction but motorists
may experience temporary delays due to the movement of equipment and
lane closures. Please obey all posted signs and flaggers while in the
construction zone.
Change to Code Inspection/Building Inspection Availability

Inspector/Building Inspector will be available on Tuesdays and

Important Change to Recycling
As of January 1, 2021, Republic Services is no longer accepting any
glass with curbside Recycling Collection. Glass has the tendency to
break during collection and contaminates other recyclables with fine
shards of glass. Any contaminated items are forced to be rejected, and
sent to a landfill. To continue recycling glass items, Republic Services
has stationed a large blue dumpster in the parking lot behind the
Edgewood Borough Building, 2 Race Street, for items to be dropped off at
residents' convenience. This bin is located next to the paper collection
bins.
IMPORTANT NOTE: Please only bring your CLEAN glass recyclables,
without lids, to place in the bin.
