Montoursville, PA – PennDOT has lifted the speed limit restriction that was in place on Route 15 from the Lycoming / Tioga County line to the New York state line.  Due to the winter storm impacting the region, the speed limit was reduced yesterday to 45 mph.

All speeds are restored to their usual posted limits.

PennDOT is continuing to treat roadways in the area and will continue until roads are clear.
