TL;DR Summary

The U.S. Coast Guard reopened the Ohio River near Pittsburgh to maritime traffic after a sunken barge was found, nearly four days after 26 barges broke loose during weekend flooding. The barge operator, Campbell Transportation Company Inc., is working to salvage the remaining affected vessels, and the Coast Guard is investigating how the barges got loose. Water levels on the Ohio rose rapidly and then fell, prompting the need for constant adjustments by barge owners. No injuries were reported, and the Sewickley Bridge, which was struck by the loose barges, was found to have no significant damage.
