SPOKANE, Wash. — With a break in weather, Spokane county crews have made great progress plowing and sanding roads overnight ahead of another storm system.
In an update from Martha Lou Wheatley-Billete, the Information and Outreach Manager at Public Works, states that country road crews are focusing on plowing and sanding all the Priority One roads.
Throughout the day today, crews are hoping to make good progress on Priority Two roads as well. The break in weather is helping crews work efficiently and effectively ahead of snow expected tonight.
The Inland Northwest is still under a winter weather alert as snow is expected tonight and freezing rain is expected on Friday.
Right now, crews are working 12-hour shifts to continue making progress on Priority One and Two roads.
One way that the community can help is by:
Driving for the conditions, especially when we are expecting icy and slick roads through the evening into Friday.Clear snow, ice and debris from all storm drains. We expect freezing rain in the coming days and if these drains are blocked, there will be nowhere for the water to go.
