Construction Junction - Building Material Reuse

Why Drive to the Big Pour?

Here are a few reasons not to:

1) Because you could ride your bicycle -

This year the Steel City Big Pour will feature a FREE bike valet service thanks in part to Bike Pittsburgh.  Enjoy the event knowing your ride is in safe hands!

2) Because you could take Port Authority -

Port Authority operates several bus lines from many parts of town right to Construction Junction. See the location map to the right, and click on the link below from the part of town you'll be coming from for a printable timetable and map.  You can also go to Google Transit for bus route information.

3) If you do either, we'll give you one free raffle ticket -

We'll hand you a raffle ticket at the bike valet. Or if you take the bus, show us your transfer at the will call ticket counter to claim your raffle ticket. Be sure to ask for a transfer on the bus (they cost an extra .75¢ but you can use it to get home).
