Tyler Bein, Regina’s roadways seasonal operations manager, says crews will be working 24/7 throughout the storm to plow and control ice on busy roads.
“Our focus is to make the road safe and passable for our drivers, whether it’s going to stick around for two months or two days, we plow the same,” Bein said. “We plow the snow, we get it off the roads and make it passable and safe for the motorists out there.”
Bein says category one roads can be expected to be plowed within 24 hours after the snow stops falling. Category two roads will follow afterwards.
Bein suggests only travelling if necessary.
