ODOT prepping for first snow of the season

Posted by Staff on Wednesday, November 20, 2024

COLUMBUS – With snow in the forecast for Thursday, Ohio Department of Transportation crews are making sure trucks, drivers, and equipment are ready to safely roll across the state.

A warmer start to the week means pavement temperatures in Ohio remain high enough to melt most of the snow on contact. However, drivers should be extra alert on bridges and overpasses as conditions there will change more rapidly as temperatures fall. Crews will be out monitoring and treating roadways, as needed.

ODOT has more than 810,000 tons of salt under roof and more than 4.5 million gallons of liquid deicer ready to go.
