VDOT TREATING ROADS, COMMUTER LOTS FOR RUSH HOUR
Motorists urged to use extreme caution this morning
FAIRFAX, Va.—As rain, sleet and freezing temperatures continued across the
region overnight, Virginia Department of Transportation (VDOT) crews worked
through the night to treat bridges, ramps, interstates and other high-volume
roads. More than 1,000 trucks continue to treat icy spots and park-and-ride lots
in anticipation of this morning’s rush hour.
