Extra caution advised for motorists in wake of winter storm
SUMMARY: The Mississippi Department of Transportation (MDOT) is urging motorists to exercise caution following a winter storm that left ice on roads, bridges, and overpasses across southern counties. Crews are actively treating these areas with de-icing materials. However, low temperatures tonight may refreeze treated surfaces, leading to potential black ice, particularly on bridges. Despite improvements in conditions, MDOT warns that hazardous driving conditions persist in the affected coastal counties. The agency advises safe driving practices, including slowing down, being cautious near shaded areas, and avoiding distractions. For updates, visit GoMDOT.com/winter or follow MDOT on social media.
