The Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT) has lifted the temporary speed limit restriction on Interstate 80 in Mercer and Venango counties.
Due to the severity of the winter weather impacting the region, speed limits were temporarily reduced to 45 mph.
All speeds are now restored to their usual posted limits in the northwest region. However, speed limit restrictions remain in effect on other portions of Interstate 80.
Motorists can check conditions on major roadways 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 smartphone application for iPhone and Android devices, by calling 5-1-1, or by following regional Twitter alerts accessible on the 511PA website.
