Flooding is still an issue on the northbound side of Interstate 93 coming off the Zakim Bridge and approaching the exit for Route 1, which is closed due to flooding. Anyone trying to access the Tobin won't be able to do that leaving Boston this morning.
Serious flooding was also reported in Chelsea on Friday morning, including on 3rd Street where cars were seen attempting to drive through deep pools of water.
