INDOT Preparing for Major Winter Storm

Motorists are urged to avoid unnecessary travel when the winter storm hits.

INDIANAPOLIS – The Indiana Department of Transportation is preparing for a major winter storm expected over the next few days.

The National Weather Service is calling for significant snowfall and the potential for ice accumulation across the state.

INDOT will be at a full call with nearly 1,000 trucks treating and plowing highways across the state beginning overnight Tuesday into Wednesday morning. Rain is expected across most of the state beginning Tuesday evening leading into a wintry mix overnight.

INDOT says in most cases they will not be able to pretreat roads in advance of snow and ice. Without pretreatment, highways are more likely to develop slick spots and snow stick to pavement and bridges.

Trucks will remain out in full force for the duration of the winter storm and afterword to continue cleanup efforts.

Road conditions are expected to be challenging as the storm moves through the area. INDOT’s goal is to keep highways passable during the storm, but motorists that must travel should expect to encounter snow and ice covered roads, blowing and drifting, and whiteout conditions.

INDOT urges motorists to stay off the roads and avoid unnecessary travel to allow plow trucks to work safely and complete as many routes as quickly as possible.
