PennDOT Removes Tier Restrictions on Certain Vehicles in the Pittsburgh Region

​Pittsburgh, PA – PennDOT has lifted the temporary Tier restrictions on certain vehicles from traveling on several roadways in Allegheny, Beaver and Lawrence counties.
The following roadways have been lifted from the Tier 2 of the commonwealth’s weather event vehicle restriction plan:
Allegheny County: Interstates 79, 376 (Parkways East and West), 279 (Parkway North), and 579
Beaver County: Interstate 376 (Beaver Valley Expressway)
Lawrence County: Interstates 79 and 376
Due to the winter storm impacting the region, PennDOT temporarily restricted certain vehicles from using the interstates earlier today to help ensure that the interstates remained open during the most challenging conditions of the winter storm.
Speed limits remain restricted to 45 mph on these roadways in addition to Routes 22 and 28 in Allegheny County for all vehicles, and commercial vehicles not affected by other roadway restrictions must move to the right lane.
