Stay Safe, Enjoy Winter Activities

The Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT) reminds Pennsylvanians of all ages to stay safe during the winter months, while driving or enjoying many outdoor activities. With variations in temperature and density of snow, outdoor activities and driving can become more dangerous than adults or children realize, leading to injury and even death.

PennDOT District 3 reminds every one of the following safety guidelines:

Road Closures Due to Drifting Snow

Due to drifting snow, PennDOT has closed the following roads in Montour and Columbia Counties:

Montour County

  • Route 2016 (Schultz Road) west of Route 642 in Hemlock Township.

Columbia County

  • Route 4019 (Derrs Road) to Route 4017 (Columbia Hill Road) in Madison Township.
  • Columbia Hill Road to Rishels Camp Road in Madison Township.

Motorists should seek alternate routes.

Speed Limits Restored on Roadways in the Region

PennDOT has lifted the speed limit restrictions that were in place on roadways in the north central Pennsylvania region.

Due to the winter storm impacting the region, speed limits were reduced Monday night to 45 mph on Interstate 80, Interstate 180 and Route 15 in the region. All speeds are restored to their usual posted limits in north central Pennsylvania.

Motorists should continue to drive with caution due to freezing conditions that continue to exist throughout the region.
