Flooding Impacts Indiana County Roads After Thaw and Snow
Flooding from a thaw and three inches of fresh snow closed the road between Five Points and Shelonto as Crooked Creek overflowed. Water covered about 300 feet of the road while Creekside to Chambersville remained passable. Route 119 at the B-P Inn and Route 422 near Shelocta saw water in fields approaching roads. A land slide on Cramer Pike Route 403 near William Penn Highway caused one end of traffic to operate one way while crews cleared rock and dirt. Fourteen snow plows and two road graders worked to clear main routes, with all mains open to two-way traffic this morning.
