While snow has been far from the minds of most, the Virginia Department of Transportation crews have been preparing for it. Staffing, equipment, and materials are in place and ready to go when winter arrives.

“Our top priority is the safety of those on our roadways,” said VDOT Chief of Maintenance and Operations Kevin Gregg. “The Commonwealth has more than 128,000 miles of state-maintained roads and bridges, so we prepare year-round to keep Virginia moving when winter weather arrives. Our crews are trained, experienced and equipped to handle snow and ice before and after it hits the ground.”
