INDIANAPOLIS – The Indiana Department of Transportation’s Southeast District is prepared for winter weather expected to move into the district starting Friday. The National Weather Service (NWS) is calling for two to four inches of snowfall across much of south-central and southeast Indiana, with up to five inches possible in some southern counties.
According to NWS, precipitation is expected to begin Friday morning and continue into late Friday evening throughout the district.
INDOT Southeast will operate under a full call-out, with more than 150 trucks prepared to treat state highways, interstates, and U.S. routes starting early Friday morning. Crews will remain active for the duration of the event and afterward to continue cleanup efforts.
Motorists should carefully consider unnecessary travel. If you must travel, remember to slow down, increase your following distance, allow extra time to reach destinations, and give plow trucks plenty of room to work. In case of getting stranded, drivers are encouraged to prepare a winter weather car kit that includes water, snacks, blankets, extra clothing, a small shovel, and a flashlight.
INDOT Southeast District serves portions of Bartholomew, Johnson, Jennings, Decatur, Jackson, and Brown Counties.
