Monongahela Incline expected to reopen within the next 2 weeks, pending successful inspection
PITTSBURGH (KDKA) - After being closed since January 2, we now know that the Monongahela Incline is expected to reopen within the next two weeks.
According to Pittsburgh Regional Transit, the incline was closed on January 2 when a failure of the mechanical and electrical systems that slow the cars near the stations was failing.
