CAMBRIA COUNTY, Pa. (WTAJ) — The Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT) has reopened State Route 53 between Portage and Lilly in Cambria County.

The road had been closed since April 3, when heavy rain and stormwater eroded the soil under the road, causing portions of the shoulder to fall away.

The damaged section of the route was approximately 1,500 feet north of the SR 53 and SR 164 intersection near Plane Road (T408).

The damaged portion of the road has been repaired and all detours have been lifted.
