A section of Freeport Road in Springdale Township remained closed Monday after a landslide shut down the road Friday.

PennDOT spokesman Steve Cowan said cleanup of the slide, which closed Freeport Road between the New Kensington Bridge and Riddle Run Road, was expected to start Monday and continue into Tuesday.

He couldn’t say when the roadway might re-open.

“I will have a better idea once our geotechnical engineers have the opportunity to view the site,” Cowan said in a Monday morning e-mail.

PennDOT posted detours for motorists to get around the closure. About 11,000 vehicles use that section of road daily.
