PennDOT has lifted the speed limit and right-lane-only commercial vehicle restrictions that were in place on several roads in the region. Roads now operating under normal, posted speed limits are:
- Interstate 99 in Centre County
- Interstate 80 from Clarion to I-99 at the 161/Bellefonte interchange in Centre County.
PennDOT expects to lift the speed restriction on I-80 from the 161 interchange through Clinton County a little later this morning.
Due to winter storm Garrett, speed limits were reduced last night to 45 mph on those roads.
.
PennDOT is continuing to treat roadways in the area and will continue until roads are clear.
