COURT HOUSE– Freeholder Director Beyel assured motorists that the County is prepared to clear snow and ice from roadways countywide during the first snow event of the season. Beyel said, “The Cape May County Public Works Department has fitted its trucks with plows and salt spreaders and is deploying personnel to ensure motorist safety.”
County road crews began salting bridges and school bus routes around 1:30 p.m. today and are continuing to salt all county roads and bridges. Although roads and bridges have been treated, hazardous conditions still exist and caution should be used when traveling.
The County has approximately 3,000 tons of salt housed at four locations in the County. Twelve of the county’s thirty salting trucks have been deployed to spread salt on the County’s approximately 210 miles of County roads and 28 bridges (22 County Bridges and 6 Cape May County Bridge Commission bridges). The County Road Department uses personnel from other Departments and has approximately 50 staff members available to combat the winter weather conditions.
Beyel said, “When the first snowflakes start falling, the County crews pre-treat the bridge and major intersections. The crews begin plowing operations and suspend salting when snowfall reaches 1½ to 2-inches and more is expected. Salting operations resume when the storm reduces in intensity resulting in snow showers. The crews continue with the ice and snow removal until the storm event is over and the road can be safely traveled.”
Any County government closings will be posted to the County’s website www.capemaycountygov.net
