VDOT crews reached more residents on Wednesday, but work will continue this week to reach additional low-volume secondary and subdivision roads. Heavy equipment must first break apart a layer of ice that has formed over snow on roads. Once the ice is broken, more than 400 trucks are available to assist with pushing the broken-up ice and snow to the sides of the road. This helps to create at least a single lane that is 8-10 feet wide that is drivable with extreme caution. VDOT crews will continue to work around the clock in emergency response until all state-maintained roads are safe for travel.
