Aaron Jenkins, a regional spokesperson for MDOT, says drivers should use extra caution on the roads.
"We've had our teams out working on the roads all day, and they'll continue to do it, right now we'll be working 24 hours, so we'll have our teams doing two 12-hour shifts, just making sure the roads are clean and salted when necessary based on the weather," Jenkins said.
