City officials have announced that crews are prepared to respond to winter weather conditions, with brine and salt trucks ready for deployment. Temperatures are expected to fall below freezing later today, which could result in black ice forming on roads due to residual moisture.
Crews will focus on treating bridges and overpasses with brine and road salt. Staff will remain on-call to address any reports of icy conditions as needed. Officials note that the most hazardous driving times may occur from this evening into tomorrow morning.
Emergency officials advise drivers to increase the distance between vehicles and reduce speed when traveling on snow- or ice-covered roads.
