ABC 6 NEWS — As more snow heads our way for Thursday, December 19, crews with the Minnesota Department of Transportation are gearing up for their snowplows to roll across the state.

MnDOT says that they’ll do everything they can to make sure that the roads are safe on Thursday, but add that drivers need to be cautious as well.

“We want you to be safe around [the snow plows]. It’s so helpful. Snow plow drivers need safe spaces to work. They drive slower. They sometimes go in between lanes because they have to clear the entire roadway,” said Anne Meyer with MnDOT

Drivers are also being reminded to be more cautious on ramps, bridges and overpasses, as those areas can become slick much faster than other parts of the road.
