Restrictions and traffic disruptions: Here’s what’s happening on Centre County roads

Travel conditions were hazardous in Centre County after a winter storm dumped more than a foot of snow across the area.

First responders have been called to numerous crashes throughout the area, and there are some closures and restrictions in place on county roadways. Here’s what to know:

• The Pennsylvania Department of Transportation announced Thursday before noon that restrictions in place on vehicles and speed on Interstate 99 in Centre County and I-80 in Clearfield, Centre and Clinton counties have been lifted.

• I-80 westbound remains closed from the I-180 interchange in Northumberland County to the 178/Lock Haven interchange in Clinton County due to a crash that involved dozens of vehicles and killed two people in Clinton County. Traffic is being detoured at the I-180 interchange and directed to follow I-180 west and Route 220 south. PennDOT does not expect the roadway to reopen until after noon Thursday.
• In a Thursday morning news release, PennDOT also warned about: a closure or restriction eastbound and westbound near the 120/Woodland interchange of I-80 in Clearfield County, short-term closures or restrictions along state Route 322 and short-term closures or restrictions on local roads. PennDOT expects conditions to improve as the day goes on.

• State Route 350 was closed to all traffic for about 6 hours Wednesday, according to a Facebook post from Hope Fire Company. It reopened at about 9:30 p.m.

• State Route 144 on Centre Hall mountain was shut down at about 6:30 p.m. Wednesday due to several tractor-trailers off the road, according to a Facebook post from Pleasant Gap Fire Company. It reopened late Wednesday night.
