Travel ban lifted for Erie County as road conditions improved

Authorities on Thursday said that a travel ban has been lifted in NewYork’s ErieCounty, days after it was put into place as a deadly blizzard swept across the region.

Buffalo @MayorByronBrown said on Wednesday night that the roads were in good enough condition to lift the ban.

“It has been 6 days,” Brown said. “Some people have not been able to restock groceries, to restock medications, to get to medical appointments, and being able to lift the travel ban safely now will allow people to do those important things.”
