PennDOT Reports Numerous Roads Closed Due to Storms

Clearfield, PA -Following significant storming in its North Central region overnight, the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT's) announced the closure of numerous roads. In some instances, the roadways are closed because the water level reached the underside of a bridge and PennDOT must perform inspections of those structures before reopening them and there are currently no accurate estimates on when those roads will reopen.

Centre County

• Route 2011 (Coburn Road/Penn Street) is closed due to downed trees in utility wires. PennDOT anticipates reopening the road by 6:30 AM.
• Route 2018 (Pine Creek road) is closed due to downed trees in utility wires. PennDOT anticipates reopening the road by 6:30 AM

Clinton County

• Route 880 (Valley Road) is closed between the Centre-Clinton County line and Route 2002 (Narrows Road) due to downed trees in utility wires. PennDOT anticipates reopening this road by 7:00 AM

Juniata County

• Route 75 is closed between Routes 74 and 333 due to flooding at a bridge spanning Hunters Creek near Port Royal in Turbett Township.
• Route 235 is closed North of McAlisterville due to flooding at a bridge spanning Little Lost Creek in Fayette Township.
• Route 333 is closed between Port Royal and Thompsontown due to a roadway washout.
• Route 2002 (Miller Hill Road) is closed at a box culvert spanning a tributary of Doe Run approximately two miles northeast of Mexico in Walker Township.
• Route 2006 (Cedar Springs Road) is closed between Routes 2007 and 2009 due to down trees in wires. PennDOT anticipates reopening the road by 9:00 AM.
• Route 2007 (Locust Run/Free Spring Church Road) is restricted to one lane due to downed trees in utility wires. PennDOT anticipates fully reopening the road by 9:00 AM.

PennDOT also 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.
