Tonight’s storm and straight-line winds have impacted numerous roads between the area Jessup and Kings Highway through Route 45 toward Mantua. Public Works, Police, and Fire personnel have been responding to calls since approximately 9 PM and have been working throughout the evening to clear hazards and make roadways passable.

Several streets throughout these areas remain impacted by downed or low-hanging wires, fallen trees, and other obstructions. Crews will continue working to address these hazards as quickly and safely as possible and will continue reporting downed lines to the appropriate utility companies.

Please use caution when traveling, as there may be significant road debris, downed trees or tree limbs, low-hanging utility lines, and traffic light outages impacting our roadways.

Do not approach or touch any downed wires. Report downed wires or other dangerous conditions to emergency services so our personnel can help secure the area and notify the appropriate utility company.

If possible, please avoid unnecessary travel tonight and allow emergency personnel and utility crews to safely respond to storm-related hazards.
