PSA: Helpful info about this weekend's flooding
Post Body
Hi all, heavy flooding is expected for the city. As of 8:30 EST Thursday, the 10th street bypass is CLOSED and the bathtub is OPEN. The Ohio river is at 22.1 feet.
These are the levels of water that cause closures and/or flooding:
22 ft: 10th street bypass floods
25 ft: the bathtub closes
28 ft: The Wood Street T station facilities are impacted. Fort Pitt Boulevard is closed.
You can watch the Ohio river level here:

I believe PennDOT controls closures of the roads, not the city. I might be wrong.
Current forecasts have the cresting at around 26ft but it could be more. Keep this in mind as you plan your commutes!
