The Arkansas Department of Transportation reports highway crews have been actively plowing roads throughout the day, but officials warn that wet pavement combined with dropping temperatures could quickly lead to refreezing and dangerous travel conditions.
Transportation officials say ice can form rapidly as temperatures fall, creating slick spots that may not be visible to drivers. Even treated roadways can become hazardous once moisture freezes, increasing the risk of accidents and travel delays.
Motorists are strongly encouraged to stay home and avoid unnecessary travel whenever possible. Those who must be on the road should slow down, allow extra stopping distance, and remain alert for changing conditions, especially on bridges, overpasses, and shaded areas where ice forms first.

Officials remind the public that conditions can change quickly during winter weather events, and staying informed is critical to keeping yourself and others safe.
