The Nashville Department of Transportation and Multimodal Infrastructure (NDOT) has 7,000 tons of salt on hand and is ready to treat roadways as more winter weather is expected to fall across Davidson County this afternoon. The department is currently plowing and salting secondary routes. As the next round of winter weather comes in, the department will return to treat primary routes as necessary. The winter weather mix expected this afternoon, paired with snow on the ground and extremely cold temperatures will create icy conditions on roads across the city.
Primary and secondary routes are cleared first during winter weather events to provide a network of access for emergency response vehicles and public transportation. If you would like to request your neighborhood street be cleared, submit a Snow and Ice Removal request through hubNashville. All hubNashville requests will be completed in the order they are received. We have not started on the request list at this time, as crews are still treating secondary routes and primary routes will be prioritized during the forecasted weather event.
Nashville Department of Transportation (NDOT) crews continue to run 12-hour shifts 24/7 and our crews are committed to ensuring all primary and secondary routes are clear. Crews are able to work more safely and effectively when roadways are clear of motorist traffic. If you must travel tonight, be sure to slow down and give plenty of room for Nashville Department of Transportation and Multimodal Infrastructure (NDOT) and Tennessee Department of Transportation (TDOT) crews to work.
Black ice will be a major concern tonight and in the morning. Please drive extremely carefully. Remember:
- Don’t crowd the plow
- Ice and snow, take it slow
- Don’t panic
- Keep your steering wheel straight; maintain speed or coast
- Never stomp on your brakes
