JAN. 28, 2010—Crews from the South Central District of the Missouri Department of Transportation (MoDOT) are prepared for the upcoming winter weather, and will be working to clear roadways as needed through the weekend.
Motorists are advised to use extreme caution when traveling during this winter weather system, which is forecasted to bring significant accumulations of a hazardous mixture of sleet and snow. This precipitation can cause roads to become slick as it refreezes with temperature drops.
Drivers should carefully consider travel plans to determine if travel is necessary. Whenever possible, motorists should wait until the snow stops and give snowplow crews enough time to clear the roads and bridges before traveling. Motorists are urged to take additional care and concentration as they drive in winter weather and allow for plenty of time to travel.
