PITTSBURGH (KDKA) -- Commuters who take the T should allow themselves extra travel time Friday morning.
Crews are making emergency track repairs at the North Side Station, starting at 9 a.m.
The Port Authority said the inbound line of the T will end at the Wood Street station downtown.
All inbound rail service will terminate at Wood Street Station. A rail shuttle will operate in the inbound direction but on the outbound tracks serving Gateway, North Side and Allegheny stations.

For riders that need to keep going towards the North Shore station, there will be a rail shuttle to help you go the rest of the way.
That rail will then take riders to the Gateway, North Side and Allegheny stations via the outbound tracks.
Anyone who uses the Allegheny, North Shore or Gateway stations to ride the T toward Station Square after 9 a.m. should wait for an inbound train on the outbound platform.
Riders heading toward Station Square after 9am should wait on the outbound platform at Allegheny, North Shore and Gateway Stations
