Road crews prepare for winter storm

HUNTINGTON, W.Va. (WSAZ) - Road crews from around the region are preparing for a major winter storm.

Crews have been out treating roads since Friday.

Salt trucks are on the more heavily traveled roads, like the interstates, state routes and city streets.

Evan Lee, the Communications Director for the City of Huntington, said “Once the salt is distributed, we’ll have drivers on standby through Sunday evening to clear roadways of any snow accumulations. Thus far, we’re not planning any disruptions to city services.”

Power companies have been preparing for the ice that is in the forecast.

Ice can bring down power lines and trees causing power outages.
