Preparing for Potential Icy Conditions on Elmore County Roads and Bridges

The threat of icy conditions on Elmore county roads caused by an approaching winter storm triggers the implementation of a plan executed by County highway department and EMA personnel along with Commission support personnel and Commissioners to monitor travel conditions on county roads and bridges.

County EMA personnel consistently communicate detailed changing weather conditions to not only coordinating county personnel and agencies but also to the Mayors of our municipalities to support their response.

Freezing temperatures are currently forecast to impact Elmore County around 9:00pm. County personnel, to include our Sheriff department deputies, will be riding our county roads and bridges to monitor their condition and report any hazard conditions that may result in sanding icy roadways or deeming a road impassable.

Please be weather aware and stay warm.
