State plows are in operation. The Marion County Road Department currently has 16 plows and 11 motor graders treating gravel and hard surface roads. There is a tow ban in effect in Marion County. Towing is also not recommended in Warren County. 

If you choose to travel this morning, take plenty of time to get to your destination, and give our road crews and first responders plenty of room to work. Don’t crowd the plow.
