The Ohio Department of Transportation is on the job Saturday morning dealing with a wintery mix of precipitation. Our region is getting a mix of rain and freezing rain and it is making driving difficult. On Friday ODOT crews pre-treated area roads with brine, which is a mixture of salt and water that will help to prevent ice from bonding to the pavement. If you are going to be driving plan for extra time for your travels. At 9:50 am the Muskingum County Sheriff’s Office says the roads are mostly wet and are improving from early Saturday morning. A dispatcher reported that he is not receiving many reports of accidents.
