ODOT Press Release
Tonight, major highway and interstate clearance operations are wrapped up following earlier winter storms. However with temperatures remaining below freezing across the state, Oklahoma Department of Transportation crews will be closely monitoring cleared areas overnight for potential refreezing and will treat as needed.
With the possibility of some slick areas developing overnight on wet roads, drivers should use caution, especially on bridges and overpasses. Stay at least 200 feet behind salt and sand trucks for everyone's safety.
Current highway and interstate conditions can be viewed with an interactive map at https://www.okroads.org and also on the Drive Oklahoma mobile app.
REMEMBER during snowy and icy conditions, if travel is absolutely necessary, drivers should:
- Stay about 200 feet behind road clearing equipment; crews need room to maneuver and can engage plowing or spreading materials without notice.
- Allow extra space between vehicles to provide adequate distance for braking.
- Be patient and allow extra time in reaching destinations.
Note: The next update will be sent when conditions change.
