RESUMPTION OF TRAVEL STATEMENT: Effective 8:00 a.m., December 9, 2017 conditions have improved and the previous IMPASSABLE TRAVEL ADVISORY for the county-maintained Elmore County roads and bridges, has been lifted. Because county and city officials cannot guarantee the conditions everywhere, drivers are reminded to use caution while traveling.

IMPASSABLE TRAVEL ADVISORY: Effective 3:30 pm all County roads and bridges in Elmore County should be considered IMPASSABLE until further notice.

Below is a statement from the County Commission concerning County offices closing today at 3:00:
The Elmore County Commission is closing County Offices at 3 pm today, (Friday, December 8, 2017 ) due to the winter weather.
The Elmore County Commission is closing the offices early to enable our employees and the public whom we serve to be off the roads before dark.
The Commission also encourages residents to use extreme caution if travel is a necessity, but recommends staying off the roads.
Statement from County Commission about County Wide Up:
County Wide Cleanup will not occur on Saturday December 9th as originally scheduled. The event has been postponed until Saturday December 16th. The wintry weather we are experiencing today has hampered Advanced Disposal operations and will create a scenario where servicing our normal countywide cleanup day will be very problematic tomorrow.

Winter weather is rolling in and the County Commission has released the below statement concerning road conditions and travel:
The Elmore County Commission wants to ensure our residents that public safety and public works personnel are actively inspecting county roads for major issues and plan to continue as the wintry precipitation falls today.
The County would like to remind our residents if travel is necessary to use extreme caution. The wintry precipitation creates wet conditions and can result in conditions can change quickly especially in low lying areas and on bridges. We encourage our residents who do not have to travel to stay off the roads.
Citizens can stay informed through messaging pushed out by our Elmore County EMA, Alabama EMA, the National Weather Service and our local media outlets.
