King of Prussia, PA – More than 40 state highways across Southeast Pennsylvania including eastbound Interstate 76 and Interstate 676 in Philadelphia remain closed following Wednesday’s flash flooding, the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT) announced today.
The following state highways remain closed:
Philadelphia
During the closure of I-76 and I-676 in Philadelphia, PennDOT urges motorists to use Interstate 95 and Interstate 476 to avoid the closure.
Bucks County
Chester County
Delaware County
Montgomery
The state highways listed above will remain closed until it is safe to reopen to traffic. Motorists should watch for ponding on roadways and flooding in poor drainage areas while traveling.
PennDOT warns motorists not to drive across roads covered with water because even shallow, swiftly flowing water can wash a car from a roadway. Also, the roadbed may not be intact under the water. Never drive around barricades or signs on closed roads – Turn Around, Don’t Drown.
Motorists can check conditions on more than 40,000 roadway miles by visiting www.511PA.com. 511PA, which is free and available 24 hours a day, provides traffic delay warnings, weather forecasts, traffic speed information and access to more than 1,000 traffic cameras.
