PEORIA, Ill. – Snow returned to the Peoria area Monday afternoon and tapered off around midnight. That snow did make driving Monday night a little tricky, as road crews focused their attention on the arterial routes.
Peoria Public Works’ Nick McMillion said following continuous treatment overnight, the City’s main arterial streets have returned to good condition and are drivable for the morning commute. Public Works crews treated priority routes throughout the night.
While primary roads are now mostly clear, drivers should still use extra caution. Many secondary and residential streets remain partially snow-covered, with slick patches. Intersections, bridges, and shaded areas will be more prone to icy conditions.
Residents are encouraged to allow additional travel time, reduce speed, and increase following distance. Use extra caution when entering and exiting neighborhoods and be mindful of changing road conditions across the City.
Public Works crews remain on 12-hour, around-the-clock operations and will continue to treat the roads throughout the day. Road conditions will continue to improve throughout the morning.
