PITTSBURGH (AP) – A riverfront parking lot in Pittsburgh is partially reopening after it was closed since Friday due to flooding.
The city’s parking authority says 275 of the 458 spaces at the Monongahela River Parking Wharf will be available Wednesday.
They say parking is accessible from Stanwix Street but not Wood Street.
The Pittsburgh Parking Authority closed the wharf on Friday as the Ohio River approached flood stage.
It remained closed Monday and Tuesday for cleanup of mud and debris.
The river crested Saturday morning at 22.2 feet, covering the parking lot in about three feet of water.
The Monongahela Wharf is located next to Point State Park under Fort Pitt Boulevard on the Monongahela River. It has 458 spaces.
