Montoursville, PA – With winter weather on its way, the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT) encourages motorists to "Know Before You Go" by checking conditions on more than 40,000 roadway miles by visiting www.511PA.com or the 511PA mobile apps for Apple and Android.
"511PA provides motorists the tools they need to be prepared before they get on the roadway," said District Executive Eric High, P.E. "511PA helps motorists to make decisions regarding alternate routes, adding extra time to their travel, or if they should remain at home."
PennDOT maintains nearly 40,000 miles of state-administered roadway and 25,400 bridges, which translates to approximately 95,000 snow lane miles. During the winter months, the public can find plow-truck locations and details of when the state-maintained roadways were last treated by selecting the "PennDOT Plow Trucks" in 511PA legend.
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 local alerts on X.
