Road Condition Alert

2/14/15 - TOWN OF WAREHAM PUBLIC SAFETY ROAD CONDITIONS ALERT

Communities are facing a severe road salt shortage due to the historic winter storms across the Commonwealth. This has resulted in the Town of Wareham Municipal Maintenance Department using a sand/salt mix and to focus clearing efforts on the primary roads and hills.

As a result the conditions of secondary/side roads are not what drivers expect. These conditions may include ice and hard packed snow. The blizzard forecast for tonight, February 14, through Sunday, February 15 is expected to worsen these conditions during and after the storm.

Please try to keep off the roads both during and in the immediate aftermath of the storm. It will help our staff and contractors do the best possible job. The Town has hired additional contractors with large equipment as some areas no longer have enough room to plow snow and require snow removal.

If you are driving on the roads please use extreme caution.
