Vigo County roads crews report progress after winter storm; some subdivision roads still being treated
Summary
County staff said crews have been operating around the clock to plow and treat main and secondary roads after a recent storm; subdivision roads are being cleared as conditions allow and crews will return to normal shifts the next day.
County staff reported ongoing snow removal and road treatment operations during Tuesday’s Vigo County Board of Commissioners meeting, saying crews have been working around the clock to clear mains, secondaries and some subdivision streets after a recent storm.
Bobby James, identified in the meeting transcript by name, told commissioners crews made headway over the previous day and continued plowing and treating roads. "So, overall, we're looking pretty well, but there are some still some roads that have some snowpack on them and stuff that we are plowing and treating today," the transcript records.
James said wind conditions had calmed and higher temperatures were helping efforts. He told the board that a shift that stayed over the prior night would be dismissed around 11 a.m. and that other crews should be finished by about 4 p.m., after which the highway crews would return to regular hours the following day. A commissioner emphasized a desire not to have employees working more than 16 hours in a shift.
Commissioners thanked crews for continuous operations. The transcript contains no formal action or vote on roadway operations at the meeting; the item was a staff update and status report.
