Winter Maintenance of Powys Roads
Following a period of wintery weather and with conditions forecast to remain cold for the next few days, work to grit the primary road network across Powys continues.
Depending on detailed forecast and data from temperature sensors, the decisions are made to plough and grit the roads of Powys as necessary, with crews making up to three scheduled runs a day and remaining on a standby rota 24/7 to retreat as required.
The fleet of gritters cover over 1,400km each time they grit the county's primary routes. In between gritting roads, crews are busy treating footways within town centres, outside schools, care homes, medical centres, etc.
