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. 

PennDOT reopened Route 219 in Burnside Township between the intersections of Route 286 and Butterbaugh/Stifflertown Road and lifted the detour at approximately 11:30 AM. It also fully reopened Route 219 between the intersections of Colonel Drake Highway and Route 969 in Mahaffey Borough and Greenwood Township, which had been restricted to a single lane.

​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.
