Multiple Roads Closed in Indiana County Due to Flooding
Indiana, PA – The Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT) is advising motorists that State Routes 580 (Maple Street), 1022 (Siebring Road), 1014 (Wandin Road/Pine Flats Road), 4020 (West Creek Road) are closed in both directions due to flooding.
The closure are as follows:
- State Route 580 – closed between the intersections of Penn Street and Clarion Road in Cherry Tree Boro
- State Route 1022 – closed between the intersections of Purchase Line Road, Rice Road in Green Township and East Run Road in Grant Township
- State Route 1014 – closed between the intersections of Starford Road and Barr Road in Green Township
The closures are estimated to end at 1:30 p.m. but may change based on conditions.
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.

Please, be safe. If a road is flooded, don't try to drive through it. #TurnAroundDontDrown
