Clearfield, PA – Following heavy rains that fell across the state yesterday, the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT) in District 2 is updating drivers on the status of road closures due to flooding. 

The closures with the most significant traffic impacts are along Route 219 in Clearfield County. It is closed in Burnside Township between the intersections of Route 286 and Butterbaugh/Stifflertown Road. Traffic is following a detour using Route 286 to Route 240 in Indiana County, and Route 240 back to Route 219 in Cambria County. PennDOT anticipates this closure being in place until at least noon on Thursday, April 4. 

Route 219 is also restricted to one lane between the intersections of Colonel Drake Highway and Route 969 in Mahaffey Borough and Greenwood Township. 

Additional closures in effect as of 9:00 AM include: 

Centre County: 

• Route 1002 (Marsh Creek Road) between the intersections of Howard Divide Road and Route 150 in Curtin and Liberty townships.
• Route 2008 (Sinking Creek Road) between the intersections of Egg Hill/Sinking Creek Road and School Street in Potter and Gregg townships.
• Route 2012 (Penns Creek Road) in Penn Township between the intersections of Greenbriar Gap/Paradise Road and 1^st Alley.

PennDOT will issue updates throughout the day as department forces work to reopen these closed roadways. It cautions motorists to never drive through flooded roadways, as it takes just two feet of fast-moving water to float a car. Anyone who drives around barriers intended to close a road can face increased penalties if emergency responders are called to rescue motorists who disregard traffic control signs.
