North Carolina Department of Transportation crews are prepared for winter storms in maintenance yards across the state. 

Trucks, plows and spreaders have been inspected by employees as part of the annual dry runs conducted in every county before winter weather hits.  

Just before winter weather is expected to arrive in an area, NCDOT will treat roads based on priority – interstates, four-lane highways and other primary routes first, followed by secondary roads. 

Visit DriveNC.gov for the most up-to-date traffic information, including closures caused by winter weather. 

This is Winter Weather Preparedness Week in North Carolina.
