Due to continuing winter road conditions, a speed restriction placed on Interstate 80 in Pennsylvania remains in effect. PennDOT yesterday temporarily reduced the speed limit on Interstate 80 to 45 miles per hour.
Motorists should drive with caution.
Although PennDOT crews have been treating roadways, the department’s primary goal is to keep roads passable, not completely free of ice and snow. PennDOT will continue to treat roadways throughout the storm until precipitation stops and roads are clear.
PennDOT asks motorists to give plow trucks plenty of room to operate. Increase traveling distance when following plow trucks and do not attempt to pass them.
