Morrissey Boulevard in Dorchester, which is prone to flooding, collected water throughout the morning. Drivers took caution in the area as the puddles continued to grow on the roadway.
High tide would have led to additional flooding; however, this occurred at 3:30 a.m.
The Pike westbound in the Allston area, right before the Commonwealth Avenue bridge, flooded, which caused officials to close the two right lanes.
Storrow Drive eastbound also experienced flooding just after the Longfellow Bridge. There is a risk of additional flooding coming back to this area.
