As winter weather moves into St. Louis, city street crews have been working extended hours to maintain road safety. A social media post from City of St. Louis Government stated that crews began operations yesterday by pre-treating streets and have continued with around-the-clock efforts to manage snow and ice on the city’s roadways.
The report notes that street department employees coordinated shift changes to maintain continuous operations and improve road conditions into the morning. According to the City’s social media post, "Currently, drive lanes on most of the arterials, secondaries and hill routes are showing," signaling that key routes remained passable despite the weather. With temperatures expected to rise slightly, the ice-melting treatments already applied are anticipated to work more effectively.
The City has reminded motorists to exercise caution while traveling during the winter weather. Street crews are continuing to work to maintain clear drive lanes, and officials note that road conditions may still be hazardous. Residents are advised to stay alert and adjust their driving as needed while the city monitors the conditions.
