The eastbound lanes of Interstate 80 in Mercer County remain closed from the Interstate 376 eastbound interchange to Exit 15 (Route 19, Mercer) following a crash involving a tractor trailer.
The roadway is expected to reopen later today.
There is also a slowed down in the westbound lanes in that area.
Drivers are reminded to continue to use caution while traveling during winter weather conditions and to give themselves additional time during their morning commute.
Although PennDOT crews are 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.
