I read from an April 15, 1958 article in the Pittsburgh Press that several
trestles were thrown up while the digging of the tunnel was in progress.
When the trolley tunnel opened one of Pittsburgh's most famous dance
pavilion's - Palm Garden - flourished near the end of one of those trestles.

It didn't say which end, but Palm Garden Village apartments sit above the
tracks on the inbound side.
