The Montgomery County Department of Transportation (MCDOT) reports that it has cleared emergency routes, bus routes, primary and secondary roads of snow. Snow plows have also made at least one pass on residential streets. However, given the magnitude of this weekend’s winter storm, with snow accumulations of up to 24 inches, additional residential road clean-up remains to be completed.
MCDOT will continue to plow and spread abrasives throughout residential areas until road conditions improve. MCDOT’s goal is to make every residential street passable -- not to necessarily clear them to bare pavement. Residents can report roads that need immediate attention at http://www.montgomerycountymd.gov/snow, and click on “Winter Weather Operations Information.” Or, they can call the MCDOT Customer Service Center at 240-777-6000.
MCDOT is responsible for clearing more than 5,000 lane miles of County roads. The Maryland State Highway Administration clears all numbered routes in the County (such as Georgia Avenue, Maryland Route 97) and municipalities, such as Rockville, Gaithersburg, Takoma Park, clear their own streets.
