December 28, 2020 8 AM Update: Roads Impacted by Flooding in North Central Pennsylvania

Montoursville, PA –  Motorists in north central Pennsylvania are advised the following roads (listed by county) are closed in the area due to flooding or downed trees and utilities. Updates will be sent periodically.

(*Adjusted closure points) Route 3004 (Creek Road) between Ranck Road and Davis Road in Lewis Township.

Lycoming

PennDOT cautions motorists to never drive through flooded roadways, as it takes just two feet of fast-moving water to float a car. Anyone who drives around barriers intended to close a road can face increased penalties if emergency responders are called to rescue motorists who disregard traffic control signs.
