    Speed Limits Restored on Roadways in the Southwest Region

    December 02, 2025

    Uniontown, PA – The Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT) has lifted the 45-mph speed limit and right-lane-only commercial vehicle restrictions that were in place on Interstate 70 and Interstate 79 in the southwest region.

    Due to the winter storm impacting the region, speed limits were reduced this morning to 45 mph on the interstates in Greene, Washington, and Westmoreland counties.

    PennDOT is still treating roadways in the area and will continue until roads are clear.

    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 1,200 traffic cameras.

    511PA is also available through a smartphone application for iPhone and Android devices, by calling 5-1-1, or by following regional X alerts.
