Richmond, VA – According to the state officials, working crews will be monitoring roadways and treating conditions as they develop, which includes:
- Setting up traffic control and detours for high waters and incidents
- Removing debris and branches from roadways and coordinating clean-up with other entities – such as power companies
- Making emergency repairs to damaged roads and bridges
TRAVEL REMINDERS FOR AFTER THE STORM
- Be alert to debris in the roadway, such as downed trees or limbs.
- Watch and be prepared for spray from larger vehicles like trucks.
- Never drive through standing water. This could cause you to hydroplane and lose control of your vehicle.
- Obey all “road closed” signage. Do not try to move or drive around the barricade.
- If you come across a flooded road that has not been barricaded, turn around and use an alternate route.
