Road
conditions improved late Friday morning after 2-4 inches of rain
overnight in Westchester and the Hudson Valley.
The conditions kept
the commute slow for flood-prone areas such as the Saw Mill River Parkway
and the Bronx River Parkway.
A car
was seen flipped on its side in the floodwaters on the Saw Mill in the early
morning hours. There were no injuries. Deep ponding made it nearly impossible
for drivers to get through.
The
Bronx River Parkway was closed at Main Street in White Plains with
flooding stretching down to Yonkers.
Crews
came in to clear the drains and bring down the water. The mud and debris left
behind still made for hazardous driving conditions as the road remained closed
for cleanup.
All parkways have
reopened.
