Ahead of hazardous winter weather expected to impact the State of Missouri this weekend, Governor Kehoe has declared a state of emergency.
“Declaring a State of Emergency allows the state to respond quickly and support local communities as needed, but each of us must do our part. We’re asking Missourians to stay informed, plan ahead, and use extreme caution during this potentially dangerous winter weather event,” Governor Kehoe said.
Motorists are encouraged to postpone travel if possible. If you must travel, use extreme caution and check road conditions before driving to help determine if your trip can be completed safely. The MoDOT Traveler Information Map app can be accessed on desktop and mobile devices here.
