ODOT release – MEDFORD – Travelers in southwest Oregon should expect snowy roads and winter conditions to continue as winter weather remains in effect in the region. Plan ahead, take extra time, and expect delays. Roads in high elevation areas are covered in packed snow and ice. OR 62, 138 and 230 were especially treacherous Monday. Travel on these roads or other high cascades areas is not advised; use alternate routes. Sno-Parks in the Crater Lake and Diamond Lake area are still inaccessible. Chains are still required through several high elevation areas. Chain requirements can change throughout the day, depending on conditions. Check Tripcheck.com for the latest information, and make sure you chain up in designated areas on road shoulders only. Some state buildings in Jackson, Josephine and Douglas counties opened late Monday. As always, use Tripcheck.com to see traffic, closures, live road cameras, and other important winter driving information.
