Shuttle Detour
The Armstrong Tunnel inbound to downtown Pittsburgh will be closed due to construction and repair from Saturday, March 4, 2023 through January 2024.
The tunnel connects Pittsburgh’s Southside neighborhoods via the 10th Street Bridge and Second Avenue to Forbes Avenue, the main traffic artery running through Duquesne’s campus. Many South Hills commuters, including students, faculty and staff, use this route to reach campus each day.
Visitors traveling this route for events on Duquesne’s campus should allow for extra time, particularly during peak morning and evening traffic hours and for events in nearby venues, including the PPG Paints Arena. Visitors should also be aware that there may be other construction projects on or near campus during the closure.
The detour for vehicular traffic will be 2nd Avenue to Ross Street to Forbes Avenue, as shown in the attached map. Please allow for additional time if you travel this route during your commute.
In addition, trucks and buses will be detoured from 2nd Avenue to B Street to 1st Avenue to Grant Street to Boulevard of the Allies to Commonwealth Place to Liberty Avenue to 5th Avenue to 6th Avenue to Forbes Avenue.
While the upcoming construction will be inconvenient, the work will help better connect our campus to vital parts of the city. Thank you for your patience during this time.

Parking Guidelines
The University is supportive of the City of Pittsburgh's Mobility Collective and the intent of sustainable, safe transportation. The City's recent pilot program for electric scooters is certain to provide opportunities that may benefit the region, when their use is restricted within safe and appropriate parameters. For example, nearby bike trails adjacent to Duquesne University's campus might be an appropriate and safe venue for the electric scooters.
However, the University has serious concerns about the use of electric scooters on its campus. Duquesne often experiences dense pedestrian traffic, and the campus terrain includes steep inclines. As a result, Duquesne has for several years expressly prohibited scooters from campus under the Student Code of Conduct (except those used as a mobility accommodation under that Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA)). In addition, Duquesne University has active concerns that the City's pilot program electric scooters are being left in pedestrian pathways, ramps, doorways and other areas that are potentially unsafe and could negatively impact accessibility.
For safety, accessibility, and other reasons, Duquesne prohibits the use of all electric scooters on campus, including those under the City's pilot program, unless as an approved ADA accommodation.
Duquesne is working with the City to designate campus as a No Ride Zone for the City's electric scooters, to geo-fence campus as a No Ride Zone (meaning that electric scooters will not operate on the University's property), and to effectively communicate these limitations to scooter riders.
