Richmond, Va. (Newsradiowrva.com) - Winter weather is expected to hit Central Virginia Wednesday into Thursday, and VDOT has already started pre-treating roads.
VDOT says crews are working “around the clock” to prepare roads and will be ready to plow and treat roads when the snow is expected to start.
“VDOT Richmond District is actively monitoring weather forecasts and is ready to respond to impacts from the approaching winter storm,” said Tanveer Chowdhury, Richmond District maintenance engineer. “Crews are working around the clock pretreating roads and will be prepared to plow and treat roads based on our snow removal prioritization.”
VDOT recommends staying off the roads during the storm, but if you have to drive: go slow, use your headlights and move out of the way for snowplows and other weather vehicles. Drivers should pay close attention to the forecast along their entire route.
At this point, Stormtracker8 meteorologists say the snow is expected to begin as early as 8 to 11 am Wednesday morning and pick up in intensity throughout the day and into Thursday morning.
