As winter weather conditions continue to improve the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT) has lifted the remaining road restriction in our region.
Speed limits have returned to normal and the restriction for commercial vehicles to move to the right lane has been lifted on Route 322/22 from I-99 in Centre County to the Harrisburg area.
The same restrictions were lifted earlier today on the entirety of I-99 and on I-80 from the Bellefonte/161 interchange to mile-marker 212;
During storms, PennDOT crews continue to treat roadways, with the primary goal to keep roads passable, not completely free of ice and snow.
While PennDOT recommends not traveling during winter storms, motorists can check conditions on more than 40,000 roadway miles, including color-coded winter conditions on 2,900 miles, by visiting www.511PA.com. 511PA, which is free and available 24 hours a day, provides traffic delay warnings, weather forecasts, traffic speed information and access to more than 1,000 traffic cameras.
511PA is also available through a smartphone application for iPhone and Android devices, by calling 5-1-1, or by following regional Twitter alerts accessible on the 511PA website.
