ODOT Crews Treat Slick Roads Across Oklahoma as Snowfall Impacts Region

OKLAHOMA CITY, OK (January 25, 2025) – The Oklahoma Department of Transportation (ODOT) is reporting that crews are actively treating slick spots on roadways throughout the state this morning as snowfall impacts the region.

The primary focus of road treatment is currently in western Oklahoma, particularly in Ellis, Roger Mills, Beckham, Harmon, Greer, and Kiowa Counties. Crews are concentrating their efforts on highways, bridges, and elevated surfaces.

While treatment is occurring closer to the Texas state line, ODOT reports that the area between Interstate 40 in central Oklahoma and the Texas border is mostly wet rather than frozen.
