Hes live this morning where one major road is still affected. Reporter were standing on route 23 right at bullock avenue here west conshohocken. The worst part of the flooding has started to recede. You can see traffic is able to get by. But about maybe a half mile down route 23 in between where were standing there is some flooding at least a portion of the roadway where theres a lot of water where there are remnants of the flooding. Thats what drivers will have to watch out for and be cautious of as they make their way down route 23. A lot of drivers see the road closed sign theyre confused. So some are turned around. But others have moved the cones and they are making their way down as they head into bridgeport and king of prussia. You come to an area where you see some cones over barricades maybe the road isnt still flooded but it flooded earlier and the waters have started to recede, so there could be a problem ahead. Use caution. And remember when it starts raining later today, these areas that are already wet and flood prone will likely flood again. Jesse gary nbc 10 news.
