After an overnight effort by #TeamConcord, primary roads in Concord, North Carolina, have been cleared of snow and ice, especially on hills and shaded areas. Crews continued working today to keep main thoroughfares safe ahead of possible refreezing.
Crews are also clearing and treating roads used for public transit, while secondary and neighborhood streets are melting as temperatures rise. However, the City of Concord warns that evening temperatures may drop, creating black ice. Drivers should treat wet-looking roads with caution, assuming they could be icy.
The flyover bridge at Concord Mills Mall has reopened, marking a return to normalcy for commuters and shoppers. With snowplows and salt trucks at work, the city is gradually restoring safe travel routes.
During this winter alert, cautious driving is essential. The City of Concord advises: "if a road looks wet drivers should assume it's ice and use extreme caution." Even with cleared roads, freezing temperatures and Mother Nature’s winter mix make patience and vigilance crucial.
