9:55 AM UPDATE: PennDOT Restricts Certain Vehicles on Route 54 in Northumberland County

01/23/2023

9:55 AM UPDATE:  Route 54 is open to all traffic.

Montoursville, PA Due to the severity of the winter storm, PennDOT is temporarily restricting commercial trucks and large trucks on Route 54 between Route 487 in Ralpho Township and Route 61 in Mount Carmel Township in Northumberland County in northcentral Pennsylvania. 

Although PennDOT crews are 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 http://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. 

511PA is also available through a smartphone application for iPhone and Android devices, by calling 5-1-1, or by following regional Twitter alerts accessible on the 511PA website.
