If you’re hitting the road in Dallas today, be prepared for conditions of freezing temperatures, snow flurries, and potential slick spots, especially on bridges and overpasses.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Despite the cold, most major roads were clear as of this morning, but conditions can change quickly. Here\u2019s what you need to know to stay safe and avoid delays.<\/p>\n

Current Road Conditions<\/strong><\/h2>\n

North Texas woke up to temperatures in the teens<\/a>, with wind chills making it feel even colder. Snow flurries were reported in several areas, including Cockrell Hill in Dallas County and Grapevine, but the snowfall was too light to stick on most roadways.<\/p>\n

However, drivers should still be cautious, especially on elevated surfaces like bridges and overpasses, which can freeze more easily. Cameras in Weatherford showed light snow on Farm Road 3325 near Morning Mist, and some roads on the western side of North Texas had snow along the edges.<\/p>\n

Precautions Taken by TxDOT<\/strong><\/h2>\n

The Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT) has closed all TEXpress managed toll lanes across Dallas-Fort Worth until further notice as a precaution. Even though this week\u2019s winter weather isn’t expected to bring heavy ice, freezing temperatures are expected to last until noon Thursday, with highs only reaching the mid-30s.<\/p>\n
