Flood waters close 10th Street Bypass, standing water along Parkway Bathtub drained

PITTSBURGH — A brief break in the wet weather pattern is on the way Tuesday, but it won’t last long.

The daylight hours will be rain-free but cloudy before the next weak system pushes light rain and snow showers back into the area Tuesday night and early Wednesday. Temperatures are expected to stay above freezing so no major travel impacts are expected.

Flooding is currently impacting several roads in downtown Pittsburgh as the river levels continue to rise.

The 10th Street Bypass is closed due to flooding and we’re keeping an eye on the Parkway East Bathtub where water was on the shoulder Monday morning.

PennDOT told Channel 11′s Trisha Pittman that it repaired a malfunctioning pump near the Bathtub to allow the standing water level to recede.

The Ohio River is expected to crest above 22 feet on Monday.

One more system will slide through late Thursday and Friday, bringing a few more rain or snow showers before we head into a fantastic-looking weekend. Seasonal temperatures and sunshine will be a welcome change after our long stretch of wet weather that has put us in the top 5 wettest Januarys on record.
