Landslide shuts down road in South Oakland

PITTSBURGH — A landslide has shut down a road in Pittsburgh's South Oakland neighborhood.

Landslides from 2018 still causing issues as new ones emerge

According to a tweet from Allegheny County, Swinburne Street will be closed between Greenfield and Parkview avenues.

Swinburne was slated for landslide remediation as part of a more than $4 million infrastructure plan that Pittsburgh Mayor Bill Peduto introduced to City Council in July.

The projects, which also include street paving, would use unused city capital funding for old projects dating back to 2003, as well as new Community Development Block Grant money from 2018.

The city added $1.5 million to its landslide budget to address slides on Swinburne as well as damage on Greenleaf Street in Duquesne Heights, Advent Street in Elliot and List and Diana streets in Spring Hill.
