Blizzard Update – Continued Snow Operations
Good morning Fall River,
Today you can expect continued snow removal operations across the city we hit 60% overnight and the number will continue to rise. Our goal remains clear: reach 100% of streets today! We are also supporting Fall River Public Schools and their efforts to clear schools, bus routes and begin assessing sidewalk clearing and street corner clearing.
Overnight, crews were back out across the city re-confirming City Verified Plowed Streets to ensure what’s reported matches what’s actually been cleared. This extra layer of verification helps us prioritize accurately and deploy resources where they’re still needed most.
We encourage residents to continue using https://frplowed.cc to report concerns and identify streets that require attention. That real-time feedback continues to help us target operations effectively. We hear you and we are watching!
Crews will begin street widening operations in addition to reaching remaining roadways. With the volume of snow we’ve received, this remains more than just plowing it’s a full-scale snow removal and hauling effort.
Travel Advisory:
If you must travel, please use the main throughways whenever possible, as these routes have received priority attention. When navigating side streets, use extreme caution and keep your speed at a minimum. Many residential roads remain narrowed, snow-packed, and may have limited visibility at corners and intersections.
We understand the safety concerns. We see them, we hear them, and we are actively working on them.
Stay strong! we’re making steady progress.
