Update: Noblestown is Reopened

UPDATE: MONDAY, SEPTEMBER 17, 2018

PITTSBURGH, PA (September 17, 2018) Noblestown has been reopened.

Previsouly, workers at DOMI reported that soil is still coming down the hillside at the site of the Noblestown Road landslide, and closed it through the weekend.

Geotechnical engineers were engaged to study the site and recommend ways to stabilize it. Workers removed trees and other debris from the site yesterday with hopes that the segment of roadway could be reopened, but the soil continued to move, making the site unsafe for motorists.

PITTSBURGH, PA (September 11, 2018) A portion of Noblestown Road in the city's Elliott neighborhood has been closed in both directions due to a landslide.

The road is closed between Obey and Weaver streets. Officials from the city's Department of Mobility and Infrastructure (DOMI) are currently reviewing detour options.

Noblestown is a state road. Updates will be issued when available from both DOMI and the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT).
