A 2.3-mile stretch of Route 837 was closed Tuesday night because of what West Mifflin Police are calling “a major landslide.”

The slide, which occurred about 8 p.m., closed the two-lane highway between the Duquesne-McKeesport Bridge to Boswell Oil. Co. on Washington Avenue in Dravosburg.

“No traffic can get through,” police said.

The stretch of road — which is bordered by the hillside and railroad tracks — is a common slide area, police said.

State Department of Transportation personnel were called to examine the site and plan cleanup operations.
