Port Authority used shuttle buses between Mt. Lebanon and Castle Shannon light rail stations for almost 2 hours Friday night after a water main break on Cooke Lane in Castle Shannon flooded the tracks.
The water main break, which occurred at about 7 p.m., forced the Port Authority to close a portion of the Red Line, spokesman Adam Brandolph.
Port Authority crews and a local fire department have responded to the area to shut off the water and assess the damage. The leak caused heavy ice that had to be removed.
Brandolph said the line reopened at about 8:50 p.m.
