The City of Tulsa is responding to winter weather moving through the area.
City of Tulsa street crews came in at midnight and applied brine (salt/water mix) on the roads, focusing on hills and overpasses. During the day today, they focused on treating intersections and plowing areas of town that received higher amounts of sleet.
Crews will be in until 11:30 p.m. tonight and morning crews will return at midnight tomorrow to continue treating the roads. 24/7 snow and ice operations are expected through Wednesday.
During winter weather response, the first focus is to clear city arterial streets for emergency responders. After arterial streets are clear, the second focus moves to residential or collector streets near hospitals, schools, and steep hills. The following link includes information on the City’s snow and ice response, including every map and route the City uses for arterial streets, collector streets, schools, and steep hills: www.cityoftulsa.org/winterpreparedness.
