The following state roads in the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation's (PennDOT) northwest region have been closed to through traffic or have lane restrictions due to high water and flooding.

The roads will remain closed until water rescinds and any needed repairs can be made. Motorists can check www.511PA.com for the latest updates on flood-related closures and restrictions.
