Week of 2/11/19
Prepare for winter weather
Winter weather conditions are in the forecast for the next several days, and the road crews with Washington County Land Use & Transportation are ready.

Road crews will be working through the weekend and into next week to make sure roads are as clear as possible. Crews will continue to apply anti-icer material, when temperature and road conditions are appropriate, and sand to mitigate icy travel conditions. If snowfall is significant, crews will plow roadways identified in the County’s snow plow routes map.

Snow zones may also be activated. The County’s snow zones are areas with high elevations and steep grades where vehicle traction devices are required during inclement weather. The snow zones are located on:


  • Barnes Road, 118th Avenue east to the County line, adjacent to a city of Portland snow zone

  • Cornell Road, Cedar Hills Boulevard east to the County line

Snow zones are identified by signs at each location. When traction devices are required, a light on top of each sign will flash. Snow zone activation messages will also be posted on www.wc-roads.com; the wc-roads  Twitter, Facebook and  Nextdoor channels; and the Washington County website.
