Virginians greatly assisted the Virginia Department of Transportation (VDOT) during last weekend’s major winter storm by remaining at home, allowing snow removal crews to make significant progress on plowing and treating major roads. VDOT needs your help again ahead of another forecasted winter storm this weekend and predicted low temperatures again next week. Crews can work more effectively when they have room on the roadways, so VDOT reminds motorists not to crowd the snowplows. VDOT crews continue to work in 12-hour shifts across most of the commonwealth battling persistent ice on roads from last weekend’s winter storm. Virginia’s interstate and primary roads are clear, but some secondary and subdivision roads still have snow and ice packed on them.
