What are the road conditions around Ohio? Here's what ODOT traffic cameras show
A winter storm this past weekend brought wind and rain, and left behind inches of snow in places across Ohio. And more is expected this week. So how are the roads? Here's how it's looking through the Ohio Department of Transportation's traffic cameras. When will my street be plowed? Snowplow trackers let you track Ohio snow cleanup progress Peering through ODOT's traffic cameras via OHGO, a website and mobile app from ODOT that provides drivers with real-time information on road conditions, Ohio's interstates and state routes look clear of snow this morning. There are, however, scattered reports of snow and ice across the state where roads could be slippery. Also, widespread flooding has many roads in southern and southeastern Ohio closed this morning, per OHGO. OHGO, a service of the Ohio Department of Transportation, bills itself as "your official source for real-time Ohio traffic updates." Through it, users can find live traffic updates, including a map that shows where wrecks and traffic backups are happening. The app also shows where traffic is backing up, be it from road construction or crashes, and where weather hazards are making the roads icy, wet or snow covered. Want to see what the road conditions are before you head out? OHGO can help with that, too. The state has hundreds of traffic cameras along interstates and other roads, and the app lets you see them in real time. Through them, users can see how snowy the roads may be, or if a traffic jam has developed along their route. ODOT also offers updates on road conditions through social media. Follow ODOT on X at ODOT_Statewide or check in with the ODOT districts around the state at ODOT_Akron, ODOT_Cincinnati, ODOT_Cleveland, ODOT_Columbus, ODOT_Dayton, ODOT_Toledo, ODOT_NorthCenOH, ODOT_NWOhio, ODOT_SouthOhio, ODOT_EastCenOH and ODOT_SEOhio. If you're heading into Northern Kentucky, you can follow The Kentucky Transportation Cabinet on X in KYTC District 6, which provides service to an 11-county area.

ODOT crews prepared for latest round of wintry mix
CLEVELAND (WJW) — Another round of sleet and freezing rain has Ohio Department of Transportation crews working hard to keep the roads passable. As soon as they learned of the Winter Weather Advisory Wednesday crews began salting roadways across Northeast Ohio. Find your latest weather alerts here One after another they were filling up and heading out. 'We're out in full force,' said Brent Kovacs, ODOT Public Information Officer, 'It's gonna be over 200 trucks out in Northeast Ohio, primarily salting and then plowing if anything does accumulate on the roads.' Already this winter ODOT's used 70,000 tons of salt, but they say they still have plenty left for the duration of winter. Unlike the last two ice storms, the timing of the system rolling in during rush hour could be tricky and conditions could vary greatly from mile to mile based on how the precipitation is coming down. ODOT is encouraging drivers to check the OHGO app prior to heading out to get real time road conditions and accident locations. They say proper vehicle maintenance with these ice storms is also important; making sure to replace poor wiper blades and fill up the windshield wiper fluid. Ohio trooper wrecked patrol car, charged with OVI But more than anything they're asking drivers for patience. 'We are going to be out there salting but we can not salt everywhere at the same time so we need everyone to just slow down, go below the posted speed limit and drive per the conditions you are experiencing wherever you are on the road,' he said.
