Montoursville, PA – Due to the severity of the winter storm, PennDOT is temporarily reducing the speed limit on several roadways in the region. 

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

• Interstate 180 the entire length 
• Interstate 80 from the Route 38 interchange in Venango County to I-81 in Luzerne County
• Route 220 from I-80 in Clinton County to I-180 in Lycoming 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. 

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 1,000 traffic cameras. 

Montoursville, PA – Motorists are advised that both lanes of Interstate 80 westbound are closed between mile marker 212 (Interstate 180 interchange / Williamsport) in Northumberland County and mile marker 178 (Route 220 interchange) in Clinton County, due to a multi-vehicle crash in Clinton County near mile marker 182.

A detour using Interstate 180 and Route 220 is in place. The roadway is expected to be closed for several hours. Motorists should expect delays in travel.

The McKean County Commissioners, at their December 13 bi-monthly meeting, approved grant awards for McKean County Small Businesses and Municipalities utilizing over $1.5 million dollars of the County’s American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) allocation.

“We are pleased that we can assist small businesses and our municipalities with funds in this time of economic recovery and stabilization.” Said Commissioner Tom Kreiner. “McKean County is pleased to offer financial resources to support projects that address the needs of our local communities.”

The McKean County Small Business Recovery Grants and the Municipal Recovery Grants provide a one-time infusion of financial resources to meet pandemic recovery needs and, moving forward, to rebuild the county economy.

A total of $130,000 has been awarded to sixteen McKean County small businesses. Grant amounts range in size from $5,000 to $10,000.  “The focus of the small business recovery grant program is not merely providing funds to businesses for revenue loss or to cover regular operating costs, but to invest in projects that can demonstrate measurable, sustainable, collaborative, and lasting improvements”, added Commissioner Carol Duffy. “Most impressive is that the business owners who were awarded grants will be investing an additional $314,463 into the selected projects.”
