Keeping lanes clear in a snow storm is challenging for the drivers. “A cleared lane doesn’t last very long. The snow continues to fall on that recently cleared lane but then traffic in adjacent lanes will kick slush and snow over to that nearby lane," explained James Lake Michigan Department of Transportation. "When it’s snowing it’s difficult to maintain a clear pavement, our goal is to keep it as clear as possible until the snow stops and then get it cleared to wet, clear pavement as soon as possible there after."MDOT also works with country road crews and public works employees to maintain state roadways during a storm.</div></body>
