Caldwell and Lyon county roads are continuing to improve after the weekend winter storm, as local officials urge caution and cooperation while snow plowing continues.
As of Tuesday morning, Caldwell County Road Department Supervisor David Waldrum reported that local roads are improving, but conditions are still less than ideal. He said crews are back out on Tuesday, working to plow and salt all county roads as temperatures are expected to be in a range that will help with the clearing process.
He asked residents to refrain from plowing areas where salt has already been applied, so county crews can benefit from the full effect of the salt and sunshine.
Waldrum also shared a message of gratitude to the entire community, thanking residents for their cooperation and support, which makes public service so rewarding.
Meanwhile, Princeton Public Works Department Director Chris Pool reported Tuesday morning that all city streets are currently passable, though there are slick areas and the potential for black ice.
He advised residents to use caution, especially near entrances where plowed snow has created mounds that may make access more challenging.
In Lyon County, Sheriff Brent White reported that major routes, including Interstate 24, Interstate 69, and U.S. Highway 62, are mostly in good condition, though there are occasional slick spots.
However, he noted some of the county’s state routes and secondary roads remain slick and hazardous, particularly on city streets and secondary roads. Sheirff White urged drivers to exercise caution in ingress and egress areas where snow has piled up, causing several high-centered vehicles to become stuck in the mounded snow.
Sheriff White advised residents that if they must travel, they should drive slowly and always remember to buckle up.
He added that they are looking forward to the sunshine today, Tuesday, as rising temperatures will help activate the salt and further clear the county’s roads.
