Good morning, Jeffco. With today's snowy conditions, we wanted to update the community about the snow removal plan. Jefferson County Road and Bridge will prioritize Priority 1 and Priority 2 roads while snow is falling. Once the snow ends, crews will focus on clearing Priority 3 and Priority 4 roads. *Please note that Jeffco Road and Bridge is currently short 34 drivers. Crews will work around the clock to clear the roads. We appreciate your understanding and support as we work through what looks to be a big snowstorm today and tomorrow. Read about Jefferson County's snow removal procedure for unincorporated Jeffco. Get all of the details at jeffco.us/2838/Snow-Ice-Cont…. Snowplowing & Ice Control Procedure: Plowing and sanding operations will take place in four phases during a storm. The order in which streets are plowed in each phase is based on the following definitions of priority: ❄️Priority 1 – Main arterial streets that provide for high traffic volumes. ❄️Priority 2 – Major subdivision collectors, school zones and school bus routes. ❄️Priority 3 – Residential or other local roads that carry moderate to low traffic volumes. ❄️Priority 4 – Cul-de-sacs or other dead-end roads carrying very low traffic volumes.
