Removal How many CDOT maintenance workers will be involved in snow removal this winter? This winter, CDOT will have approximately 1,800 trained maintenance personnel working to clear Colorado's highways and roadways of ice, slush and snow. These fleets will include a variety of winter maintenance vehicles including pre-wetters, spreaders and snowplows. How will the use
of advance road treatment products before a storm affect the need for
snow removal? In addition, the use of liquid anti-icing and de-icing agents reduces the amount of sand, salt and sand/salt mixtures used on roadways. This in turn reduces the amount of cleanup necessary for removing build up of solid residue after a storm.
Who is responsible
for snow removal in my neighborhood? In some cases, local jurisdictions even provide winter road maintenance for city streets that are also state highways. For example, the City of Denver is responsible for winter road maintenance on portions of SH 88 (Federal Boulevard), SH 40 (Colfax Avenue), SH 33 (Larimer/Lawrence Street), and SH 2 (Colorado Boulevard). The city of Aurora is also responsible for portions of SH 40 (Colfax Avenue) and SH 30 (6th Avenue). The City of Englewood is responsible for winter road treatment on SH 75 (Broadway between Hampden and Belleview), and the City of Brighton treats portions of State Highway 51. Please contact your local government for additional information on local winter road treatment programs. Where can I learn
which roads have been cleared of snow after a winter weather storm? |
