Flooding shuts down several Beaver Valley roads Friday, April 12


While initial weather predictions did not call for the same heavy rain seen last week, the storms that started Thursday night have caused flooding in several areas around the Beaver Valley.

As road crews work to address another wave of flooding in several areas around western Pennsylvania, officials from PennDOT and several local municipalities are advising motorists to avoid certain roads around the region. As of the latest media release, there is no timeline for reopening roads affected by flooding, but forecasts have predicted that rain will continue into Friday night.

Local roads affected by the flooding as of 8 a.m. Friday include:
