Traffic on Route 28 has been impacted due to a rock slide that occurred last night, leading to a lane restriction for southbound travelers. According to WPXI, motorists are advised to drive cautiously between the Hulton Bridge and Powers Run Road, as PennDOT has closed one lane to manage the situation.
Reported initially on Tuesday at approximately 10:40 p.m., the disruption has continued to cause backups into morning, with aerial footage from Sky 4 capturing the extent of the slowdown. The obstruction, which is situated about a mile north of Exit 10 (RIDC Drive), is likely to affect morning commutes. PennDOT has yet to to fully detail how long the clean-up process will take, or when the lane will reopen. Motorists are asked to avoid the area if possible or to allow for extra travel time.
Detailed updates on the ongoing traffic situation on Route 28 can be gathered from following Pittsburgh's Action News 4, per WTAE. The outlet has been closely following the developments since the incident occurred and has promised to provide the latest news as it unfolds.
