DUQUESNE (KDKA) -- A landslide has prompted crews to close down part of busy Route 837.

PennDOT shut it down Monday morning, between the Boswell Oil Company in Dravosburg and the McKeesport-Duquesne Bridge in West Mifflin.

The closure is just south of the entrance to the Greater Pittsburgh Community Food Bank, which is holding a distribution event this afternoon.
