Expect Icy Conditions Overnight and During Thursday Morning's Commute

Loudoun County officials remind motorists to use extra caution and allow extra time for their commutes tonight and tomorrow.

There is the potential for slushy, wet roads to become icy. Crews from the Virginia Department of Transportation will continue to treat roads through Thursday morning.

“Our biggest concern tonight is freezing and motorists need to use plenty of caution if out on the roads.  Tomorrow morning commuters should monitor forecasts and check road conditions before heading out,” said Branco Vlacich, VDOT’s maintenance engineer for Northern Virginia. “Once rush hour has ended we will begin to demobilize.”
