Allegheny River Tunnel

Allegheny River Tunnel

Allegheny River Tunnel is a tunnel under construction in the city of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. The tunnel is part of the North Shore Connector Project which consists of boring twin tunnels under the Allegheny River to connect the North Shore with the city. Light Rail vehicles will use the tunnel to get to the opposite sides of the river. The tunnel is slated to open sometime in 2011.
