Motorists in north central Pennsylvania are facing some roadblocks this morning. Roads throughout various counties have been closed or are experiencing lane restrictions as detailed by the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation. The issues are a result of flooding, downed trees, and compromised utilities.
Commuters traveling through Snyder should be aware that Route 235 is shut down between Route 35 in Fayette Township, Juniata County, and Route 522 in Spring Township, Snyder County. Reported by the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation, the closures are due to flooding in Juniata County. County Line Road is also under restriction for travel, from Fairview Road in West Beaver Township to the Mifflin County line, where utilities are hanging like a heavy curtain over the afflicted area.
There's a silver lining for some, however. Snyder Avenue at the intersection with Route 522 in West Beaver Township has reopened, easing a bit of the congestion.
