Summary

A major sinkhole has erupted on Cumberland Road near UPMC Passavant, forcing a road closure at Babcock Boulevard for safety. Thankfully, no injuries occurred, but drivers must reroute—using Babcock Blvd or Peebles Road entrances—to reach the hospital. Officials suspect underground pipes contributed to the collapse, but repair timelines remain uncertain. The closure is expected to stay in place until further notice.
