PennDOT Removes Restrictions on Certain Vehicles in the Pittsburgh Region

(File Photo)

Pittsburgh, PA – PennDOT has lifted the temporary restrictions on certain vehicles from traveling on several roadways in southwestern Pennsylvania.

Due to the winter storm impacting the region, PennDOT temporarily restricted certain vehicles from using the interstates yesterday to help ensure that the roadways remained open during the most challenging conditions of the winter storm.

The vehicle restrictions reflected Tier 1 of the commonwealth’s weather event vehicle restriction plan (PDF) have been removed from the following roadways:

  • I-79 from PA Turnpike I-76 to the West Virginia border.
  • I-279, full length.
  • I-376 from PA Turnpike I-376 to PA Turnpike I-76.
  • I-579, full length.

While PennDOT recommends not traveling during winter storms, 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.

Motorists should always allow plenty of space when driving near plow trucks. Also, for their own safety and the safety of plow operators, motorists should never attempt to pass a truck while it is plowing or spreading winter materials.

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 account for special needs of passengers such as baby food, pet supplies or medications and pack accordingly.

More information about how to prepare for any type of emergency, including free downloadable checklists of items to keep in your home, car, and at work, and specific information for people with access and functional needs or pets, is available on the Ready PA webpage.

These controls that are environmental are critical to protect archival materials and artifacts that document the rich heritage of Lawrence County.
