CREVE COEUR, Mo. — Roads on both sides of the river are being treated this morning as crews prepare for a challenging day of winter weather.
MODOT crews are actively pre-treating roads, with trucks laying down salt on major highways such as Interstate 270 East in North County. The preparations come as winter weather is expected to impact driving conditions throughout the area.
“Give the truck operators room to work,” authorities caution, emphasizing the importance of safety as drivers navigate around MODOT vehicles.
IDOT has stated that while they did not deploy trucks overnight in the Metro East, they are prepared to respond as the storm develops. Statewide, IDOT has more than 1,800 trucks and other equipment ready to spread salt and plow if necessary.
As road crews continue their preparations, both MODOT and IDOT remain vigilant, ready to respond to the winter weather challenges as they unfold.
