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

Columbia

• (Open) Route 3008 (Bear Gap Road) between Rhodestown Road in Locust Township and White Church Road in Cleveland Township, for down utilities.
  

Northumberland

• Route 1025 (Shakespeare Road) between Hobbes Road and Route 45 in East Chillisquaque Township, for flooding.

Union

• Route 2001 (Beaver Run Road) between Route 192 and Cannon Road in Buffalo Township, for flooding.
  

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.
