City of Tulsa street crews spent the night plowing and applying brine and salt to bridges and overpasses. All arterial roads are passable throughout the city.
With another round of wintry precipitation expected in the next few hours, crews will continue to concentrate on plowing to clear all lanes.
Crews will be on 24/7 snow and ice operations at least 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.
