Pittsburgh, PA – PennDOT District 11 is announcing the “bathtub” area of westbound I-376 (Parkway East) in the City of Pittsburgh, Allegheny County, has reopened to traffic.

The “bathtub” area of the Parkway East, located between the Grant Street exit and Fort Pitt Bridge, closed to traffic on Wednesday due to flooding. The roadway was reopened at approximately 11.45 a.m. along with the ramp from Grant Street to westbound I-376 and the ramp from the Boulevard of the Allies to westbound I-376.

PennDOT crews pumped the water and cleaned mud and debris from the area once the river receded prior to the roadway reopening.
