For your own safety, avoid driving in these conditions if possible. Covered - The surface is more than halfway covered with frozen stuff. Driving in these conditions can be very dangerous. Please avoid driving if at all possible. Closed - Occasionally conditions are so bad that roads will close until we can reopen them.
Every storm is different.
How bad the roads are, will depend on many things, like how the temperature is changing. MoDOT works hard to keep roads open and normal. Most times only a few hours, less than a day, is all we need to get roads back to normal. If you can, avoid driving until we've had time to clear the roads. The report shows only major routes and general conditions, as they were last reported.
