BEAUMONT – The Texas Department of Transportation continues to monitor road conditions within the Beaumont District.


As the temperature drops below freezing tonight, TxDOT crews will continue to treat major highway bridges, ramps, and overpasses. Roads will continue to be treated until the end of this weather event.


Drivers are reminded to allow work crews plenty of room to operate and slow down when approaching them. While TxDOT and its crews do their best to keep the roadways safe, it’s up to drivers to do their part and take precautions when driving in hazardous winter conditions.


TxDOT encourages drivers to plan ahead by checking weather forecasts and visiting www.DriveTexas.org to see conditions and closures.


Winter weather creates unpredictable and dangerous driving conditions. While travel is strongly discouraged, if travel is necessary, drivers are encouraged to use extreme caution and follow the winter safety travel tips below.


If you must drive, reduce your speed, and increase your following distance.


Plan ahead and allow plenty of extra time to reach your destination.


Remember that everyone on the road is dealing with the same conditions. Be courteous to other drivers so everyone can safety get where they’re going.


Carry an emergency kit (with food, water, blanket, etc.) in your vehicle, just in case.
