MONROEVILLE, Pa. — A landslide, this time in Monroeville, has come down onto Old Thompson Run Road and into a creek, which then caused flooding.
The road is a thoroughfare into Wilkins Township and isn't expected to re-open anytime soon.
PennDOT is calling it a "damming" effect, when debris slides into the creek and causes flooding.
Traffic is detoured because the road is closed.

Drivers going southbound should take the same route in the opposite direction.
PennDOT is monitoring the situation and said the road will remain closed until the water recedes.
