Which one of the two Fort Pitt Tunnels is more level in grade?

I noticed that the eastern portals of the tunnel have one 30 feet higher than the other to align with the two levels of the Fort Pitt Bridge, but the western portal has both portals on the same grade as per usual.

So that means either one tube climbs 30 feet or the other drops 30 feet.

Or one drops 15 feet and the other gains 15 feet.

I know the outbound tunnel definitely has an upgrade because you can kind of see it when driving (and you can't see through the entire tunnel). The inbound tunnel has a less obstructed view, but that doesn't mean it has no grade.
