Clean-up continues along Kittanning Pike in O’Hara from the heavy rains and flooding on July 11, 2019.

As flood cleanup continues in O’Hara after the July 11 storms, motorists should expect delays along Kittanning Pike near the Sharpsburg border.

The busy road will be restricted to single-lane alternating traffic from 7 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. through Tuesday, PennDOT announced.

Crews from Allison Park Contractors are conducting the emergency cleanup under the Kittanning Pike bridge that sits between North Canal Street and Kirkwood Drive.

Water rushed along the road, closing it and several others during the rainfall.

That day, the National Weather Service recorded at least 2.31 inches at Pittsburgh International Airport, falling short of the record of the daily record of 2.96 inches set in 1971.

O’Hara declared a state of emergency because of scattered flooding, and Aspinwall closed Delafield Road because water was cascading toward Freeport Road.

PennDOT officials said there also was flooding near the Sunoco station at the O’Hara/Blawnox border.

We moderate comments. Our goal is to provide substantive commentary for a general readership. By screening submissions, we provide a space where readers can share intelligent and informed commentary that enhances the quality of our news and information.

While most comments will be posted if they are on-topic and not abusive, moderating decisions are subjective. We will make them as carefully and consistently as we can. Because of the volume of reader comments, we cannot review individual moderation decisions with readers.

We value thoughtful comments representing a range of views that make their point quickly and politely. We make an effort to protect discussions from repeated comments either by the same reader or different readers

We follow the same standards for taste as the daily newspaper. A few things we won't tolerate: personal attacks, obscenity, vulgarity, profanity (including expletives and letters followed by dashes), commercial promotion, impersonations, incoherence, proselytizing and SHOUTING. Don't include URLs to Web sites.

We do not edit comments. They are either approved or deleted. We reserve the right to edit a comment that is quoted or excerpted in an article. In this case, we may fix spelling and punctuation.

We welcome strong opinions and criticism of our work, but we don't want comments to become bogged down with discussions of our policies and we will moderate accordingly.

We appreciate it when readers and people quoted in articles or blog posts point out errors of fact or emphasis and will investigate all assertions. But these suggestions should be sent via e-mail. To avoid distracting other readers, we won't publish comments that suggest a correction. Instead, corrections will be made in a blog post or in an article.
