FLINT TWP., Mich. – The Genesee County Road Commission expects heavy snowfall on Wednesday and Thursday as the National Weather Service has issued a Winter Storm Warning from 4 a.m. Wednesday to 7 a.m. Thursday.
On Monday, equipment operators and garage supervisors began preparing trucks by changing the blades, topping off fluids and pre-staging salt in equipment. The Genesee County Road Commission has 60 trucks that will be out at different times. As a result, equipment operators expect to come in early and work overtime.
As written in the Genesee County Road Commission’s winter maintenance policy, expressways and primary roads will be cleared first. So please have patience as crews have over 1,200 miles to plow.
Those who need to go out are advised to be patient while driving near plow trucks. Give them plenty of room and never pass on the right. Also, please remind children to play safely away from the road and not go near plow trucks as they work to clear the roads.
The Genesee County Road Commission will provide updates on Facebook and Twitter periodically.
