Penndot announcing tonight the closing of State Route 53 between Portage and Lilly in Cambria County until further notice.
Penndot officials say water eroded the soil under the road, causing portions of the shoulder to fall away.
The damaged section of the Route is about 1500 feet North of Route 53 and Route 164 near Plane Road.
There’s no timetable for the reopening of that road.
