Priority One Roads
Priority One roads have higher traffic volumes and include U.S. Route 19, U.S. Route 54, U.S. Route 36, and I-72. Some local roads with higher traffic counts also are included. A Priority One road will be treated 24 hours a day, 7 days a week until it is at normal conditions (pavement is wet or dry but no frozen material).
Priority Two Roads
A Priority Two road will be plowed, and the hills, curves, intersections and bridges will be treated with an abrasive mixture during the storm. After the storm has ended, we treat the entire road with the abrasive mixture. We will continue to plow the road as long as we are able to remove frozen material. At that time, we go home until the next day so the material on the road will have adequate time to work.
If you notice your road is partly covered, please drive slower and more cautiously than normal.
Like all businesses, MoDOT is working as efficiently as possible during tough economic times. We appreciate your help to continue to make our roads safe during and after a winter event. Please remember to drive slowly and always be sure you’re buckled in.
If you're traveling during winter weather, please visit our Traveler Information Map for the latest road conditions.
