PennDOT reopens Parkway North HOV lanes
The Parkway North high-occupancy vehicle lanes in Ross and Pittsburgh have reopened to traffic, PennDOT announced Saturday afternoon.
The Interstate 279 HOV lanes have reopened to traffic in the outbound, or northbound, direction. The lanes were closed beginning Thursday night because of the winter storm.
Drivers can check road conditions online at 511pa.com. The site provides traffic delay warnings, weather forecasts, traffic speed information and access to more than 1,000 traffic cameras. It is also available through a smartphone application, by calling 511 or following regional Twitter alerts accessible on the website.
