City and state leaders are urging residents to stay off the roadways as much as possible as icy conditions pass through the area.

"DOTD appreciates your patience and reminds you to please drive with caution through areas that may be affected by accumulations of ice on the roadways, especially on elevated surfaces," a statement read Friday afternoon.
