Snow and ice remain on many Buena Vista roadways this morning following the weekend winter storm. City Public Works crews have been working continuously since Saturday evening and will remain on duty until conditions are improved.

While some progress has been made, roads remain icy and hazardous, and motorists are strongly encouraged to delay non-essential travel until later today, if possible. Extremely cold temperatures are slowing snow and ice removal and may cause refreezing, even on roads that have already been treated.

Crews continue to prioritize Routes 60 and 501, emergency routes, and primary city streets, while making repeated passes throughout the city. Due to ice-like conditions and low temperatures, most roads are not yet clear to pavement and will likely remain slick until temperatures rise and sunlight helps improve conditions.

With temperatures expected to remain below freezing for much of the week, travel may remain difficult for several days. Staying off the roads when possible helps crews work more efficiently and safely.

Residents are encouraged to continue monitoring local media and official City channels for updates.

Please use caution, allow extra time if travel is necessary, and stay safe
