Snowstorm Headed To Central Oregon; Road Crews Preparing

Snow…and lots of it…could hit Central Oregon today through the weekend as a Winter Weather Advisory is in effect. The Director of Bend’s Transportation Department David Abbas says they did preparation work yesterday using mag chloride to reduce ice and snow from staying on the surface of roads. Abbas says Priority One will be major arterials with most of the traffic. Priority Two will be Collector Roads that feed the major arterials and Abbas says the Third Priority will be local residential areas with low traffic volumes.  He says they’ll have workers on overtime with 10-to-12 hour shifts and will bring in outside contractors to help.
