Andover Terrace Stabilization Public Meeting Status Update - 9/10/26

This public meeting held by the City of Pittsburgh on September 10, 2026, provided a status update on the Andover Terrace landslide stabilization project. City officials, including representatives from the Department of Mobility and Infrastructure and the mayor's office, discussed the history of the landslide, interim repairs completed in 2023-2024, and plans for final engineering design and construction. The engineering firm Dapalonia Consulting Engineers has been engaged for design work, with property access recently secured to begin surveying and geotechnical investigations. The timeline anticipates 9 to 12 months for design, followed by a public bidding process and 6 to 9 months for construction. The city currently has approximately $4.1 million budgeted for construction, with a total of $14 million allocated for landslide projects citywide, and officials committed to securing additional funds as needed. Residents expressed concerns about communication, emergency access, utility coordination, and project delays. City officials acknowledged these issues and committed to improving communication through a dedicated email address and more regular updates. No new contract awards or vendor selections were announced, but the meeting focused on procurement planning, budget allocations, and project management for this significant infrastructure repair.
