Bridges, Roads, And Parks Closed Across Montco After Ida: List

MONTGOMERY COUNTY, PA — Numerous bridges and roads, as well as several public parks, remain closed in Montgomery County on Friday as the region continues to recover from a historic storm.

Officials continued to warn of dangers two days after the storm hit, as the cleanup effort of downed trees and wires remains, and flooding is still in the process of receding in some areas.

"Residents should not drive or walk past closure signs as flooded roads are unsafe," the county notes. "Doing so puts both yourself and those who may have to come to rescue you at risk."
