Roads You Will Still Want to Avoid, Thanks to Hurricane Sandy

PennDOT works to whittle the list, but some roads remain impassable.

Portions of the following state-maintained roads in Lehigh County remained closed as of 9 a.m Sunday, Nov. 4, according to PennDOT.  Most of the closures are because of downed wires, trees or utility poles from Hurricane Sandy. 

Although several roads are still impassable, workers continue to whittle the list.
