PennDOT reduces speed on I-80 due to winter storm

Due to a winter storm, the speed limit on an area highway is being reduced.

PennDOT announced around 5 p.m. Wednesday that the speed limit on I-80 from the Ohio state line to Exit 192 was reduced to 45 mph for all vehicles.

Commercial vehicles must also move to the right lane.

PennDOT officials say crews have been treating roadways, with the primary goal of keeping them passable. The roads will not be completely free of ice and snow.

PennDOT advises avoiding driving during winter storms. But, if you have to drive, officials suggest using the agency’s 511PA map to check road conditions.
