    PennDOT Restores Speed Limit on Interstate 80

    November 28, 2023

    The Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT) has restored the speed limit on Interstate 80 in the northwest region.

    A 45-mph speed limit remains in effect on the following interstates:

    • Interstate 79 from the beginning of I-79 in Erie County to Exit 166 (Route 6N/Edinboro/Albion);

    • Interstate 86 from beginning of I-86 to the New York state line; and

    • Interstate 90 from the Ohio state line to the New York state line.
    On roadways with speed restrictions, commercial vehicles not affected by restrictions on these or other roadways must move to the right lane.

    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. 511PA, which is free and available 24 hours a day, provides traffic delay warnings, weather forecasts, traffic speed information, and access to more than 1,000 traffic cameras.

    511PA is also available through a free smartphone application for iPhone and Android devices, by calling 5-1-1, or by following regional twitter alerts accessible on the 511PA website.
