oklahoma road conditions.


Travel across much of Oklahoma is discouraged as the winter storm continues to pound the state.

The Oklahoma Department of Transportation just closed U.S. 62, 5 miles west of Altus for an unknown amount of time.


All interstates in the Oklahoma City Metro area have been shut down due to weather. There are numerous accidents and stranded vehicles blocking all roadways.


Troopers encourage you not to drive in western and southwestern parts of the state. Blizzard conditions in far western and southern counties have reduced visibility. Highways remain slick in the western two thirds of the state, and conditions continue to deteriorate.

Several collisions have been reported on I-35 south of the Oklahoma City area. Travel is also discouraged on I-40 west of Clinton due to low visibility.

The Tulsa area began to experience sleet around 11:00 a.m.

Crews have been applying salt and sand mixtures as needed to highways, especially bridges and overpasses, which generally freeze first.

Due to the number of traffic re-lated incidents, OHP will not be responding to non-injury accidents within the seven county okc metro area. However, officials tell us will respond if roadway is blocked or there is an injury.

Parties involved in non-injury collisions should pull from the travel portion of the roadway and exchange information.

To CHECK THE CURRENT ROAD CONDITIONS, call the Department of Public Safety's Road Conditions Hotline at 888-425-2385.
