Freezing rain is expected to impact the area late tonight and early Thursday morning, and city and county crews are working in advance of the ice storm.
ODOT District 1 Public Information Officer Cheri Newton said crews from the Van Wert ODOT garage started pre-treating roads on Tuesday, and noted they started with primary routes before moving on to problem locations such as bridges and intersections.
Van Wert Safety-Service Director Jay Fleming said city crews will begin pre-treating roads this morning.
The National Weather Service said ice accumulations of 0.1 to 0.2 of an inch are possible between Wednesday night and Thursday morning.
