Is your Saturday travel impacted by KC snow? A look at road conditions
Some roads in the Kansas City metro were covered in snow as plows made their way through frequently-traveled routes and side streets Saturday afternoon.
A traveler information map from the Missouri Department of Transportation shows major routes, including Interstates 70, 35, 435 and others still at least partially covered in snow as of 1:30 p.m.
Drivers can expect conditions to change quickly, so they should be sure they are prepared before they get out, a spokesperson with MoDOT said.
There are cameras, maps and status updates available that can give people a good sense of how the roads are on their planned route.
Traffic cameras show snowy KC roads
KC Scout cameras across the metro show some routes free of snow, while others show snow blowing across the road. Just before 1:30 p.m., traffic was moving at a normal to medium pace on major routes, according to the MoDOT map.
A camera stationed at I-35 and Southwest Boulevard in Kansas City showed snow flurries blown across the road just before 1:30 p.m. A road sign there could be seen warning drivers of snow-packed roads.
Snow appeared to be relatively cleared from K-10 at Ridgeview Road in Lenexa, with a clear path for cars apparently stretching to it’s intersection with I-435 westbound around 1:30 p.m.
Another camera at U.S. 169 Highway in Kansas City’s Northland showed one lane clear of snow and another lane partially covered.
The Kansas City International Airport (MCI) reported 2.8 inches of snowfall as of 12:30 p.m. Early snowfall predictions were between 2 and 6 inches of snow for much of the Kansas City metro.
