HARRISBURG, Pa. — Due to the severity of the winter storm, PennDOT is temporarily reducing the speed limit on several roadways in the south central region of Pennsylvania.
PennDOT is urging motorists to avoid unnecessary travel but those who must head out will see speeds reduced to 45 mph on the following highways:
- Interstate 81 in Cumberland, Dauphin, Franklin and Lebanon counties
- I-83 in Cumberland, Dauphin and York counties
- I-283 in Dauphin County
- Route 11 in Cumberland, Franklin and Perry counties
- Route 15 in Adams, Cumberland and York counties
- Route 22 in Dauphin and Perry counties
- Route 78 in Lebanon County
- Route 283 in Dauphin and Lancaster counties
- Route 581 in Cumberland County
- Route 30 in Lancaster and York counties
- Route 222 from Route 30 to the Berks County line in Lancaster County.
Although PennDOT crews have been treating roadways, the department’s primary goal is to keep roads passable, not completely free of ice and snow. PennDOT will continue to treat roadways throughout the storm until precipitation stops and roads are clear.
While PennDOT recommends not traveling during winter storms, 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.
