(Southeast Indiana) - The Indiana Department of Transportation's Southeast District is prepared for winter weather expected to move into the district starting Friday.
The National Weather Service (NWS) is currently calling for 2-4" of snowfall across much of Southeast Indiana, with up to 5” possible in some southern counties. According to NWS, precipitation is expected to begin Friday morning and continue into late Friday evening throughout the district.
INDOT Southeast will operate under a full call out, with more than 150 trucks prepared to treat state highways, interstates and U.S. routes starting early Friday morning. Crews will remain active for the duration of the event and afterward to continue cleanup efforts. Please note that it takes an average of two-to-three hours for crews to complete a full snow route.
Motorists should carefully consider unnecessary travel. If travel is necessary, remember to slow down, increase following distance, allow extra time to reach destinations and to give plow trucks plenty of room to work. Drivers are also encouraged to prepare a winter weather car kit that includes water, snacks, blankets, extra clothing, a small shovel and a flashlight in the event they become stranded.
Check real-time travel conditions and view traffic and snowplow cameras online at 511in.org or via INDOT's TrafficWise app. Regular updates will also be shared on INDOT Southeast's social media channels.
