Mandi Dillon, Regional Public Information Officer for the Ohio Department of Transportation, appeared LIVE on News Center 7′s Daybreak to explain what ODOT crews were doing.

She said about 200 crews are out in the southwest Ohio area, including 120 across the Miami Valley.

“What we are seeing is the roads are passable but there are still a lot of slick spots,” she told News Center 7. “Bridges, ramps, and overpasses, those tend to freeze up on us. People need to use caution if they are going to be out there.”
