CLEARFIELD – PennDOT has lifted the speed limit restriction that was in place on Interstate 80 and I-99 in the region.
Due to the winter storm that impacted the region, speed limits were reduced yesterday to 45 miles per hour on I-80 in Clearfield, Centre and Clinton counties and on I-99 in Centre County.
Speeds have now been restored to their usual posted limits on those roadways. Motorists are advised that they may encounter high cross winds along these roadways and that they should adjust their vehicle speed accordingly.
