PITTSBURGH -- McArdle Roadway reopened Friday afternoon, following a landslide that halted traffic during the Thursday evening rush hour.
The roadway was shut down from the Liberty Bridge to Grandview Avenue in Mount Washington after some 20 tons of rock, dirt and debris spilled down a hillside and onto the pavement.
Because of the slide, outbound traffic on the Liberty Bridge was briefly restricted to one lane. All lanes are open now.
Greentree Road was also closed from Woodville Avenue to Ridgemont Drive because of a landslide Thursday afternoon but it has since reopened.
No injuries were reported in the landslides. Road crews said the wet weather is to blame and the expected rain could cause problems in some areas this weekend.
