PennDOT has lifted the speed limit and right-lane-only commercial vehicle restrictions that were in place on several roads in the region. Roads now operating under normal, posted speed limits are:

• Interstate 99 in Centre County • Interstate 80 from Clarion to I-99 at the 161/Bellefonte interchange in Centre County

PennDOT expects to lift the speed restriction on I-80 from the 161 interchange through Clinton County a little later this morning.

Due to winter storm Garrett, speed limits were reduced last night to 45 mph on those roads. . PennDOT is continuing to treat roadways in the area and will continue until roads are clear.

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 1,000 traffic cameras.
