NASHVILLE, Tenn. (WTVF) — TDOT plow and brine truck drivers have been working hard to get the state roads clear after the snow hit Sunday evening and Monday.

There's a group of people though who keep watch on all of the roads and are the glue that keeps everything together, communicating with crews where to go and what roads to watch for.

TDOT TMC monitor everything through camera feeds. They use this to update Smartway, which lets the public also know where to avoid when heading to their destination.

The workers in the TMC building also communicate with first responders, and can send a HELP truck to assist.

Watch the video above to hear more about the work TDOT TMC is doing during this winter weather.

Tennessee AG is suing fertility clinic for abandoning patients

Growing your family, no matter the journey to get there, is an emotional one. My heart aches for these families who trusted a Nashville fertility clinic with their dreams and finances. Hannah McDonald's relentlessness to find answers is journalism at its best and hopefully a new avenue of hope for the patients caught up in this mess.
