During severe winter weather events, we don’t have enough resources to address all of the 1,300 miles of county-maintained roads throughout Washington County. That’s why we have identified priority routes for snow plowing and ice control.
About 426 miles are included in our snowplow and ice control routes. We prioritize routes that connect important buildings, emergency services and major corridors.
No two winter weather events are ever the same, so we often make decisions based on the areas most impacted. Neighborhood streets aren’t plowed outside of extreme conditions and until we clear higher priority roads.
