Safety Reminder
DOTD urges motorists to use extra caution when traveling on roadways during hazardous weather conditions and stay off the roads whenever possible. Motorists should drive slowly and carefully, and avoid driving while distracted. Always allow for extra driving time, reduce speeds when visibility is low, and make sure there is plenty of room between vehicles. At this time, motorists should only travel for emergencies and if they must travel, will need to use EXTREME caution. DOTD will be monitoring the bridges and elevated structures for ice and its forces will be ready to apply salt over affected bridges, remove fallen trees from the roadway, and close routes as needed.
