ODOT is actively preparing for a winter storm expected to impact the state beginning Friday. Because each storm is different and much of the winter weather in the state can quickly shift between ice, sleet or snow, ODOT proactively monitors weather conditions closely to determine the best plan of action for each storm. Pre-treatment operations are already underway to help improve safety on highways and interstates. Crews will continue to monitor conditions ahead of the expected inclement weather.
