RUSTON — As the effects of a winter storm linger in northern Louisiana, state agencies worked Tuesday morning to clear roadways and help residents in need. 

Videos posted by the Louisiana Department of Transportation and Development show crews clearing snow and ice from I-20 in areas near Lincoln and Ouachita parishes. 

Louisiana State Police said multiple 18-wheelers are stuck on the closed interstate. Troopers are working with the DOTD and the Louisiana National Guard to help drivers affected by the icy conditions. 

"Troopers are conducting personal welfare checks, delivering donated supplies, and escorting motorists off the interstate to gas stations or shelters using ATVs and State Police units," LSP said. 

To move stalled 18-wheelers, the National Guard brought out its "heavy-duty wreckers."

Troopers have done hundreds of vehicle assists over the past few days and LSP is still asking for people to stay off the roads if they are unsafe.
