Missouri residents advised to stay off of roads

(KLZA)-- The Missouri Department of Transportation is urging drivers to continue to avoid traveling through Monday in the heaviest weather impacted areas. The heavy amounts of snow, bitterly cold temperatures and cloud cover will keep MoDOT crews working around the clock to clear the roads the next couple of days.

The northern half of Missouri, especially from Interstate 70 to the north, received 8 inches to over a foot of snow, with some pockets of northwestern Missouri receiving nearly two feet.

Motorists should expect heavy snow on entrance and exit ramps, outer roads, and the non-interstates today. If motorists are driving and get stuck, please stay in the vehicle to avoid the potential of another vehicle sliding into you. Also, you do not want to be outside in these bitterly cold temperatures. The materials used to clear the roads are also less effective in these temperatures.

MoDOT has approximately 1,500 snow trucks operating with crews working 12-hour shifts until roads are in a mostly clear condition. Missouri road conditions are available 24/7 on the Traveler Information Map at www.modot.org on desktop and mobile devices. Drivers can also find road conditions by following MoDOT on Facebook and X or by calling 888-ASK-MODOT (888-275-6636).

Motorists can also dial the Missouri State Highway Patrol- emergency number *55 to reach the nearest troop headquarters.
