WARREN, Pa. – In an update, PennDOT announced that three roads in the western part of Warren County have been closed due to flooding.
Davey Hill Road, from Old Garland Road to Route 27 in Pittsfield Township; Kane Road from Route 27 to Cole Hill Road in Pittsfield Township; and Scotts Crossing Road from Route 6 to Route 426 in Columbus Township are all closed due to high water.
“The roads will remain closed until the water recedes and any needed repairs can be made,” PennDOT said in a release.
These closures come less than a week after a number of roads in the north and east portions of the county had flooding issues.
PennDOT urged motorists to be alert to water on roadways, obey warning signs and traffic control devices, and never drive through flooding or standing water on roads.
“Shallow, swiftly flowing water can wash a car from a roadway,” PennDOT said. “Also, the roadbed may not be intact under the water.”
