WINTER MAINTENANCE:

Winter road maintenance is a top priority for the Glen Alps Road Service Area.

Maintenance activities will include the following, as weather permits:

  1. Snow and ice removal – Snow hauling activities will occur in conjunction with regular snow removal activities, when plowhed or piled snow impede the safe and efficient movement of vehicular or pedestrian traffic, blocks access to fire hydrants, creates unsafe sight distances, etc.
  2. Deicing/Abrasives - In general, roads with the highest traffic volumes are sanded first. Special attention is given to hills, curves and intersections. We inspect roads constantly to determine where traction sand is needed.
  3. Culvert Thawing - Culverts are steamed when ice accumulations in culverts are creating flooding problems on the road surface or private lands.
