Interstate 81 Open Again After Being Closed for Over 4 Hours

Interstate 81 Southbound near the Pine Grove exit and above is reportedly open to at least 1 lane after being closed for over 4 hours.

The Interstate has been closed to traffic at the 104 (Ravine), 107 (Tower City), and 112 (Hegins) exits.


The interstate had been closed down due to the icy road conditions that had caused multiple accidents including vehicles and jackknifed tractor trailers.  While crews were trying to get vehicles off the Interstate at Pine Grove, two tractor trailers collided trying to exit (Pictured above).

Any drivers that had already been on the Interstate were stuck while crews cleaned up the scene.  Below are some of the images


** I would like to thank all the drivers that were stuck in this traffic that reported to us the weather and traffic conditions.
