Project:
Airport Busway

Location:
Allegheny County

Our Role:
Phase I Archaeology, Phase II Archaeology, HAER Documentation, Effect, MOA

The Airport Busway was built on a railroad right-of-way built before the Civil War. Today, the Busway uses the railroad’s original Cork Run Tunnel designed over 150 years ago by noted civil engineer, W. Milnor Roberts. Over 60 other cultural resources were found along the Busway corridor.

Additional Interest: The two most important railroad structures on the Busway – the Cork Run Tunnel and Bell Avenue Bridge – were documented for the Historic American Engineering Record (HAER) before the Busway was constructed.
