City officials said today they are going to start attacking icy city streets after spending two days making sure major roads were clear.
“Crews will continue working 12-hour shifts until roadways are passable and safe,” said Richard Beeland, spokesman for Mayor Ron Littlefield.
The city has almost 1,250 miles of roads.
Officials from the Department of Public Works said today their priority will be to handle all calls made to the city’s 311 system about icy road conditions.
More than seven inches of snow fell on Chattanooga on Monday. Road conditions this morning were icy and city officials said they expect the same types of conditions over the next two days.
