City of Petersburg Storm Response Team Ready for Winter Storm
The Petersburg Public Works and Utilities Storm Response Team is prepared to begin treating bridges and main roads early Tuesday morning with chemicals, salt, and sand. Once primary roads are treated, crews will move to secondary roads.
The Tuesday forecast predicts a 100% chance of a winter storm, which will bring a mix of snow, sleet, and rain throughout the day. The City’s Storm Response Team will work continuously as needed to treat city roads. The Police and Fire Departments will also monitor road conditions to ensure public safety.
Stay Safe and Off the Roads
The City urges residents to stay off the roads during snow and sleet. Reduced traffic allows road crews to treat and clear streets more effectively. Residents are encouraged to use off-street parking to help snowplows operate more efficiently.
