The latest from PennDOT. 2/4/2022- 12am:
Dunmore, PA – Due to the winter storm impacting the region, PennDOT has issued a Tier 4 restriction on Interstate 81 North of I-84/380 split in Dunmore. Starting at 12:00 AM.
A Tier 4 restriction bans ALL COMMERCIAL VEHICLE from the interstates. PennDOT encourages motorists to avoid unnecessary travel. A 45 mph reduction for all motor vehicles will also be in place.
Although PennDOT has crews treating roadways around the clock, 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.
In addition, PennDOT reminds motorists to pack an emergency kit for their vehicles. A basic kit should include non-perishable food, water, blanket, small shovel and warm clothes. When preparing an emergency kit, motorists should take into account special needs of passengers such as baby food, pet supplies or medications and pack accordingly.
