Chattanooga, TN (January 8th, 2025) – The Department of Public Works is
ready to implement the city’s comprehensive snow and ice road treatment
plan to ensure the safety and mobility of all residents in the event of
inclement weather.
The Public Works team is focused on treating the primary routes and access
roads for hospitals, emergency responders, and emergency facilities from
Jan 8th until roads are deemed safe. To ensure the accessibility of
necessary services, these areas will receive treatment first. Secondary
routes that feed into the primary routes will be treated next. Teams will
continue to monitor road conditions throughout the event and will retreat
roads as necessary, particularly if refreezing occurs due to low
temperatures.
During this event, all leaf pick up routes will be temporarily suspended.
Crews will redeploy trucks to focus on snow and ice treatment, prioritizing
road safety. To help maximize road treatment efforts, residents are
encouraged to stay off the roads unless absolutely necessary during
inclement weather. Additionally, please move parked cars off streets to
allow for full and efficient treatment of roadways.
For reports, concerns, or questions related to road conditions, please
contact 311. For more information about weather conditions visit
