Commuters on the Schuylkill Expressway had a longer-than-expected commute on Tuesday morning as heavy rains and unprepared storm drains caused flooding.
Tuesday morning's heavy rain came in quickly, causing delays for commuters across the Delaware Valley, especially those stuck in floods along the Schuylkill Expressway. Delays along I-76 were so bad that many commuters are questioning why PennDOT wasn't prepared.
Veteran commuters of the Schuylkill are familiar with traffic and poor roadway conditions during storms, but flooding between King of Prussia and Gulph Mills began just before 7:30 a.m. as debris clogged storm drains and could be seen alongside the right shoulder.
