You can guarantee that the plows will be out there the best they can. As shared via the Minnesota Department of Transportation a few days ago on their Facebook page:

Our tow plows and snowplows cover a lot of highway-- we maintain 30,000+ lane miles statewide.

 

It's been a busy week for MnDOT drivers, but our work isn't done yet.

 

Watch out for crews as they continue clean-up work through the weekend.

 

Stay back to stay safe!

With over 800 plows across the state, you know they'll be doing their best, just do your part and being safe over the holidays!
