JEFFERSON CITY - As accumulating snow falls today, the Missouri Department of Transportation reminds motorists to use caution on the roadways. MoDOT crews are out across mid-Missouri, working hard to plow snow-covered state routes and make them safe for travel.
MoDOT is responsible for 8,228 lane miles of state highway in Central Missouri and follows the following priorities when clearing roadways:
Priority 1: Roads with the highest traffic volumes are cleared or treated first. These include interstates and other major routes, which receive continuous treatment throughout a winter weather event.
Priority 2: Lower-volume lettered and number routes are cleared next.
MoDOT encourages motorists to log onto www.modot.org to view the online Traveler Information Map.
