City says Primary Roads are Good

As of 6:00 Friday morning Pittsburgh Public Works Director Guy Costa says crews working overnight were able to treaty all of the city’s main routes and are now working on the secondary and school routes. He says there are still some slick spots but those will go away as more traffic hits the streets and the sun comes up to heat the roads. He says the secondary streets that have not been treated are of course slick and he recommends that people be careful this morning and leave extra time to get to where they need to be. He says with the temperatures right around freezing they were able to use rock salt rather than other chemicals. Costa says they continue to tweak the new plowing priority system but it is “working fine.”
