Overview
- The Oklahoma Department of Transportation is on statewide standby with nearly 2,000 employees, more than 500 multi‑use trucks, and 128,000 tons of salt and sand ready.
- ODOT says bridges and roadway surfaces were pretreated with brine, with 25 trucks staged specifically for the Tulsa area.
- Oklahoma City ran nearly 20 trucks overnight to brine overpasses and salt priority routes, and Thursday’s brief snowfall melted quickly.
- City crews focus on municipal snow routes while ODOT manages the highways, reflecting a divided but coordinated responsibility for road treatment.
- Crews are applying salt and sand given current temperatures, reserving beet‑juice treatments for about 15–18°F, and ODOT introduced a snow‑plow tracking map for residents.
