DOTD announces staff are prepared to respond and take precautionary measures in the event of adverse weather. Below freezing temperatures and a possible wintry mix are forecast for portions of the state later this week and into the weekend.

Crews will be out scouting the bridges and overpasses, and field crews are ready to begin pre-treating measures as necessary.

Additionally, DOTD is prepared to close certain bridges and overpasses that are deemed impassable, or that have been identified as preemptive emergency closures as part of each region’s snow and ice plan as applicable.

Motorists are advised that some bridges and overpasses may become unsafe for travel before a closure notice is issued based on the speed and intensity of the storm, and should take responsibility to drive accordingly.

Safety Tips for Drivers

- Be alert for trick-or-treaters on Halloween. Slow down and continue to scan the road in areas where they are likely to be or where sight distances are limited.
- On Halloween there will likely be more pedestrians on the roads and in places where they are not expected. Slower speeds save lives.
- Stay alert for pedestrians who may come out from between parked cars or behind shrubbery. Stop, wait for them to pass.
- Don’t look at your phone when you’re driving. Your attention needs to always be on the road.
- If you see a drunk driver on the road, contact law enforcement.
