CT DOT Prepared for Weekend Winter Storm – Entire Fleet Ready for Deployment – Motorists Advised to Restrict Travel and Use Caution on Roadways

With a moderate statewide winter-weather event forecast for Saturday, the DOT has readied its fleet of plow trucks, materials and personnel to clear and salt state roadways. The DOT plow fleet of 632 trucks, stationed at roughly 50 garages around the state, is prepared for deployment as weather conditions evolve. Current forecasts indicate that the entire state fleet will be in use. If needed, the Department can add 200 private contractors to further compliment state plow crews.
