When I called the Highway Department number to find out about conditions, the line was busy.

During a severe weather event, our department is understandably very busy. We advise limiting your travel, or staying off of the roads entirely. Check your television or radio for local weather and road conditions. Check with Safe Travel USA for more detailed road conditions.

Our office personnel will not have the latest road conditions. Our phone lines should only be used primarily to alert us of a special problem relating to the snow removal operations during a severe weather event.
