Pittsburgh Regional Transit reopened a section of the T’s Red Line on Wednesday morning after completing emergency repairs.
The transit agency closed inbound tracks from Palm Garden to Castle Shannon around 10:30 a.m. Tuesday to allow crews to repair about 46 feet of rail and and expansion joints where two breaks were recently discovered.
The agency said in a tweet early Wednesday that Red Line tracks have reopened and routes have resumed as normal.
The closure was originally expected to last through Thursday afternoon.
