Smyrna public works reports road clearing, tree removals after several days of winter weather
Summary
Tom Rose, Smyrna’s public works director, said crews and partner agencies cleared more than 100 locations after several days of severe winter weather, using 7 plow/salt trucks, 4 graders and 350 tons of salt while removing over 100 trees and limbs.
Tom Rose, public works director for the town of Smyrna, said crews and partner agencies worked long, demanding hours responding to several days of severe winter weather that affected the town.
"Over the past several days, Smyrna has experienced severe winter weather," Rose said, and credited the public works department, Smyrna Police Department, parks and recreation, utilities crews and partners at TWRA for responding across the town. "We are incredibly grateful," he added.
Rose provided operational metrics for the response: crews addressed more than 100 locations; the town deployed seven trucks for plowing and salting, used four graders to clear roadways, applied about 350 tons of salt, plowed or treated more than 2,600 road miles, and removed over 100 trees and limbs. Those figures, Rose said, reflect the scale of the multi-department effort to restore safety and accessibility.
The town did not provide additional operational timelines or specific street-level lists of cleared locations in this announcement. Rose’s remarks focused on the aggregate scope of the response and praise for crews and partner agencies.
Rose encouraged continued resident patience as recovery continues and thanked the community for cooperation and resilience.
