Heavy rain snarled traffic in Allegheny County's more flood-prone pockets Friday morning.

According to county social media, the Mansfield Bridge remained closed in both directions about 10:30 a.m. because of flooding on the McKeesport/Glassport side.

The southbound lanes of Route 837 below the Duquesne-McKeesport Bridge also were closed, according to county tweets. Additionally, Streets Run Road at Schuette Drive is closed in Baldwin, according to Tribune-Review news partner WPXI-TV.

In Pittsburgh, Baldwin Road and Streets Run Road at Glass Run Road were closed due to flood waters.

Route 51 temporarily was shut down near North Lewis Run Road in Pleasant Hills, though the road has since reopened.
