PennDOT has lifted the temporary speed restriction on Interstate 80 in Monroe and Carbon counties in east central Pennsylvania.

PennDOT is urging motorists to avoid unnecessary travel but those who must head out will still see speeds reduced to 45 mph on the following roadways:

• Interstate 78 in Berks, Lehigh and Northampton counties.

• Interstate 81 in Schuylkill County.

• Interstate 176 in Berks County.

• Interstate 380 in Monroe County.

• U.S. 222 in Berks County.

• U.S. 422 in Berks County.

On roadways with speed restrictions, commercial vehicles not affected by restrictions on these or other roadways must move to the right lane.

Although PennDOT crews have been 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.
