The Pennsylvania Department of Transportation said in a release Saturday that the section of the Parkway East is currently open, but “due to projected river levels,” the ‘bathtub’ will be closed at some point.
The strongest storms will move through the area between 11 p.m. and 4 a.m. Sunday. PennDOT said it will notify drivers when “closing procedures” begin.
