The city has closed McArdle Roadway and part of Greentree Road because of landslides.

McArdle is closed from the Liberty Bridge to Mount Washington.

City officials said earth-moving equipment was on the scene and they hoped to reopen the road by 7 p.m.

The closing of McArdle forced PennDOT to close the right outbound lane of the Liberty Bridge, which normally sends traffic directly to McArdle during rush hour.

A landslide earlier today closed Greentree Road between Woodville Avenue and Ridgemont Drive in Pittsburgh. The city was expected to reopen one lane by 4 p.m. with a flagger directing alternating one-way traffic.
