Speed Limits Restored on I-80, I-99 and Route 220

CLEARFIELD – The Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT) has restored the speeds limit on I-80, I-99, and Route 220. As of 2:20 P.M. Tuesday, normal speed has been restored on these roads in Clearfield, Centre and Clinton counties.

Due to the winter storm impacting the region, speed limits were reduced earlier today to 45 mph on the previously mentioned roads.

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 825 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.

The department also asks motorists to allow plenty of space when driving near plow trucks. Also, for their own safety and the safety of plow operators, motorists should never attempt to pass a truck while it is plowing or spreading winter materials.

PennDOT reminds motorists to pack an emergency kit for their vehicles. A basic kit should include non-perishable food, water, blanket, small shovel and warm clothes. When preparing an emergency kit, motorists should take into account special needs of passengers such as baby food, pet supplies or medications and pack accordingly.
