Arkansas – The Arkansas Department of Transportation said Monday that crews were able to improve conditions on major routes after a brief break in the weather, but warned that the winter event is not over.
In a post on social media, ARDOT officials said that with help from the sun, crews were able to get “A” routes in good shape and began work on some “B” routes. They also warned that temperatures would be even colder Tuesday morning and urged motorists to continue using caution.
The department thanked residents for staying home, saying that reduced traffic helped crews work safely and make progress on clearing and treating roadways.
Officials reiterated that drivers should remain cautious and avoid travel if possible as crews continue to respond to the winter storm.
