As Louisiana faces a winter storm, the Department of Transportation and Development (DOTD) is working to manage icy conditions on the roads. Teams are spreading de-icing substances on bridges to ensure safer travel. The Arkansas Department of Transportation (ArDOT) has sent snow plow crews to assist with clearing major southern routes, according to a Department of Transportation and Development announcement.
Commuters are advised to limit travel to essential trips and maintain patience. Motorists should keep a safe distance from snow plows, as these vehicles move slowly and are not suited for fast travel.
For those who need to travel, the Department of Transportation and Development provides resources to stay updated on road conditions. Louisiana’s 511 Traveler Information website offers real-time road status updates, which are important for navigating the storm.
Motorists can also stay informed by signing up for MyDOTD on the Department of Transportation and Development website to receive updates on road closures and projects. Additionally, Department of Transportation and Development provides updates on Facebook and other social media platforms to keep the public informed.
