Gateway Finance Station to close during G-20 Summit

Access to area to be blocked off

PITTSBURGH—The Postal Service will be closing the Gateway Finance Station located at 625 Stanwix Street at 2 p.m. today through the remainder of the G-20 Summit due to access barriers that are expected to be in place this afternoon.

In addition to the Gateway Finance Station, the Western PA District had previously announced the closings of the Grant Street and Fourth Avenue offices due to limited or prohibitive access to areas in which the offices are located.

“Our intent continues to remain providing service to the community with minimal interruptions,” said Western PA District Manager Charles P. McCreadie. “At the same time we will follow the guidelines provided to us for the safety and security of the public and our employees.”

For added customer convenience, Automated Postal Centers (APC’s) are available at select Post Office locations around the city, and many of the APC’s are located in 24-hour lobbies. Using a credit or debit card, these self-service kiosks enable customers to conduct business at their convenience. APC’s enable customers to:

Buy the same self-adhesive stamps provided through ATMs.
Weigh, calculate and purchase postage in amounts for items weighing up to 70lbs.
Send items via Express, Priority and First Class Mail, as well as by Parcel Post services.
Look up ZIP Codes and obtain Postal Service mailing information.
Obtain Express Mail, Certified Mail, and Return Receipts
Purchase Delivery Confirmation service.
