Pittsburgh's 10th Street Bypass closed to traffic in both directions at about 7 p.m. Thursday because of flooding.
The bypass is closed between Interstate 279 Parkway North/Fort Duquesne Bridge and Fort Duquesne Boulevard, PennDOT District 11 spokesman Steve Cowan said. The ramps from northbound and southbound I-279 to the 10th Street Bypass also are closed.
Cowan advised motorists to use Fort Duquesne Boulevard to detour around the closure. Motorists on I-279 should use the ramps to Fort Duquesne Boulevard.
