Anderson commends rapid response of ODOT crews
Sen. Patrick
Anderson today praised the efforts of the Oklahoma Department
of Transportation (ODOT), and Director Gary Ridley, to clear roads
following Monday’s blizzard. The storm has made travel difficult
in North and Northwestern Oklahoma, but ODOT crews are plowing and
treating roads to make them passable.
“The Department of Transportation and its 600 workers have
been working around the clock to clear roadways and assist stranded
motorists,” said Anderson, R-Enid. “Director Ridley
has been in frequent contact with members of the Legislature to
keep us updated on the progress of crews responding throughout the
state. I am tremendously grateful for the efforts of the men and
women working to make travel safe in affected areas.”
Anderson said city and municipal road crews also should be commended
for doing everything they can to help with response efforts. With
crews still reporting slick and hazardous conditions, ODOT is encouraging
area motorists to be extremely careful if they must drive.
Anderson welcomed constituents who need further assistance to contact
his office.
“Many are suffering after this extraordinary storm and officials
are working hard to respond,” Anderson said. “Anyone
who needs assistance or information is welcome to contact my office.”
