MoDOT is the Missouri Department of Transportation, and they are responsible for keeping the roads of the state safe and clear during snowfall. MoDOT has a comprehensive plan in place to handle snow removal, ensuring that roads are kept safe and passable during the winter months.
MoDOT’s snow removal plan includes pre-treating the roads with salt and brine solutions, in order to prevent ice and snow from bonding to the road surface. This helps to make sure that the snow and ice can be cleared more easily and quickly, helping to keep roads safe and passable. MoDOT also deploys fleets of snowplows and other vehicles to clear the roads. These plows are equipped with specialized attachments that can scoop and remove accumulated snow from the roads.
In addition to the snow removal plan, MoDOT also encourages drivers to be prepared for winter conditions. They advise drivers to carry a winter safety kit with them in case of emergency, and to check their vehicles before heading out on the roads. MoDOT also provides updates on road conditions and closures during winter storms, so that drivers can make informed decisions about their route.
