Tennessee Department of Transportation crews were all hands on deck making roads safe for you to travel on Tuesday.
This was the first time this winter season that TDOT crews had to prepare for serious winter weather.
Crews spent Monday putting brine, a saltwater solution, on all heavily traveled major roads.
Jennifer Flynn with TDOT says Monday’s mild weather would increase the success of conditions during the actual event of snow and ice as crews pre-treated roads.
According to Flynn, managers monitor the weather closely and plan operating procedures accordingly.
On Tuesday morning, trucks are on standby in case the snow starts to cause issues for the roads.
