PITTSBURGH (Newsradio 1020 KDKA) - There are traffic restrictions in Downtown Pittsburgh Monday after a Port Authority bus fell into a sinkhole.

It happened on 10th Street near Penn Avenue.

For those curious, the heaviest part of the bus is the back because that’s where the engine is located. This bus was stopped at a red light at the time this occurred. pic.twitter.com/HT3DNQxNCR

Director of Public safety, Wendell Hissrich, says the bus is resting on power lines and is not expected to fall backwards anymore but there is concern that the front end of the bus could fall in to the hole if it expands.

Water is also at the bottom of the 10 to 15 foot hole creating more concerns.

A day care on Penn Avenue has been evacuated as a precaution.

There are road closures in the area and Port Authority says several bus routes are affected.  ​
