Harrisburg, PA – PennDOT has lifted the speed limit and right-lane-only commercial vehicle restrictions placed on major highways in south central Pennsylvania District 8 region comprised of Adams, Cumberland, Dauphin, Franklin, Lancaster, Lebanon, Perry and York counties.

PennDOT is continuing to treat roadways in the area and will continue until roads are clear.
