SUMMARY: This morning at 7:40, traffic is flowing well after a winter storm coated highways with snow and sleet. Kenna Mitchell, the public information officer for the Texas Department of Transportation’s Dallas District, advises caution as roads are wet and temperatures hover around freezing, creating potential slick spots on bridges and overpasses. Efforts to pre-treat highways and increased manpower have improved conditions compared to past storms. Drivers should remain alert, reduce speeds, and avoid bridges if possible, as crews work to clear vehicles stuck on overpasses. Overall, safety remains a priority as conditions are monitored.
