PHILADELPHIA (WPVI) -- PennDOT and the PA Turnpike has lifted some restrictions that were in place due to the winter storm.

The full commercial vehicle ban is lifted on I-70 in Fulton County, from the Maryland state line to the Turnpike.

There are many ways to de-ice a car, but some are better ideas than others.

The travel ban has been lifted the following roadways:

I-76 (non-Turnpike);

I-78 full length from I-81 to the New Jersey state line;

I-81 from the Maryland state line to I-78;

I-83 from the Maryland state line to I-81;
