Speed back to normal on I-81 in Pennsylvania after winter storm

The most of the winter storm-related speed limit reduction placed on Interstate 81 in south-central Pennsylvania earlier in the day has been lifted.

The Pennsylvania Department of Transportation took the measure as a winter storm with snow, sleet and freezing rain moved through the area on the morning of Tuesday, Dec. 2, 2025.
