Update 2am:
Old York Rd is now open.

Update 5pm:
Due to the size of the tree, the significant number of utility lines that were entangled in the tree, as well as a utility pole that needs to be replaced, Old York Rd will remain closed throughout the evening and into the overnight hours.

Original post:
Old York Rd (PA Route 611) is currently blocked both northbound and southbound at Ashbourne Rd due to a large tree that fell and brought down power lines blocking the roadway. Please avoid the area. Washington Lane and New Second Street can be used as north/south alternates.
