Inbound Service on West Busway Returns to Normal

Inbound traffic on the Port Authority's West Busway will be back to normal in time for this morning's inbound rush hour, authority spokesman Jim Ritchie said.

A landslide Friday between the Sheraden and Ingram stations impaired travel on the busway and grew worse Friday night, Ritchie said in a statement. Crews worked through the weekend to clear debris and reopen one lane of the busway, he said.

This will allow for inbound buses to resume travel this morning through the area affected by the slide, Ritchie said. Among the routes resuming normal inbound travel this morning are the G2, G3, G31 and 28X, along with the Beaver County Transit Authority's Route 4. Riders this morning should use stations.

The outbound lane is expected to remain closed for several weeks during work to clean up and repair damage from the slide, Ritchie said.

Outbound trips will follow a detour until 3:30 p.m. on Monday. After 3:30 p.m., outbound buses will return to normal routes, using the busway and traveling through the slide area while alternating with other buses. A signal will control traffic in the area.
