IDOT asks “drive safely”

The Illinois Department of Transportation, IDOT, salted the streets last night in preparation of the expected weather causing icy streets.  Although the temperatures are in the 20’s and near 30’s and above with humidity of 66% with an actual feeling of 12 degrees.  The up and down temps causes the snowfall to melt and freeze which forms ice on the roads.  IDOT asks that resident and visitors be careful while driving down the highways, streets and parking lots.

Our crews were out overnight pretreating roads and bridges. Be alert for icy conditions through the weekend. #ilwx pic.twitter.com/6BIb3TxZ7n
