HARRISBURG, Pa. — Update: 1:04 p.m.: Speed limit restrictions on major roadways in south-central Pennsylvania have been lifted, according to PennDOT.
Due to the potential for slippery conditions earlier today, speed was reduced to 45 mph on interstates and other major roadways in the PennDOT District 8 region encompassing Adams, Cumberland, Dauphin, Franklin, Lancaster, Lebanon, Perry and York counties.
Although PennDOT crews have been treating roadways, motorists should be alert for areas of ice and snow. PennDOT will continue to treat roadways until all roads are clear.
