Gateway station is a station on Pittsburgh Regional Transit's light rail network,[4] located in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. Until October 30, 2009, it was the network's westernmost extent within downtown Pittsburgh. The Port Authority closed Gateway Center as part of construction work on the North Shore Connector project, and a new station opened in 2012 (though its name was truncated from "Gateway Center" to simply "Gateway"). The former station entrance was demolished and a new station was built.[5] Gateway station and North Side station lie at the southern and northern ends of the Allegheny River Tunnel, respectively.
